Chicago is known for its thriving burger scene, and Little Bad Wolf is a must-visit spot for anyone craving indulgent flavors and creative takes on classic comfort food. This neighborhood restaurant is famous for its massive Wolf Burger, but there’s plenty more to try on the menu. To start, I tried the Lumpia, a pork hand roll served with a tangy sweet and sour sauce. This appetizer was the perfect introduction to the bold flavors that Little Bad Wolf is known for. For the ma

The menu is packed with bold flavors, fresh ingredients, and exciting dishes that highlight both sweet and spicy profiles. To start, I ordered the Hamachi Crudo, a recommendation from our waiter. This dish was incredibly fresh, with a subtle heat and the perfect amount of crunch from the toppings. Next,

For the final meal on my New York City trip, I knew I wanted to end on a high note—and Ci Siamo easily became one of my favorite restaurants we visited. Located in Manhattan and known for its wood-fired dishes and handmade pastas, Ci Siamo delivered on both atmosphere and flavor. We started with the Gnocco Fritto filled with goat gouda, a dish I’d absolutely order again. The airy, crispy dough paired perfectly with the creamy, slightly tangy Gouda. It was the ideal light star

The menu offered so many t

From unique menu items to perfectly cooked seafood, this dinner spot exceeded my expectations. I started with the Butter Candle, a bread-and-butter creation filled with garlic and spice. While it sounded gimmicky at first, it was absolutely delicious and a must-try. We also tried the Crab Cakes, which were crab-forward an

Akiro Hand Roll Bar is one of the newer additions to River North, offering a modern mix of Japanese and Peruvian flavors. We started with the Tuna Tiradito, made with yellowfin akimi, ponzu, and furikake. This was the perfect way to set the tone for the meal. The fish was incredibly fresh, and the bright, citrusy flavors from the ponzu made the dish feel light, clean, and beautifully balanced. Next, we tried the Tempura Shrimp, served in a spicy sauce. I loved the combination

Costera Cocina Tulum in Fulton Market, Chicago, is a must-visit for fans of fresh Mexican cuisine and craft cocktails. After passing by many times, I finally got to try their highly rated drinks and menu items on a recent night out to dinner. I started with the Playa De Piña, featuring mezcal, papaya, pineapple, and lime. While it was slightly sweet for my taste, the mezcal flavor really stood out.

This past September, I experienced Tokyo Last Call, a unique dining concept in the basement of Sushi-San, where four Japanese bars and bartenders rotate each weekend with their own curated cocktail menus. I attended the last weekend in September, featuring Tokyo Confidential as the guest bartender. My favorite cocktail of the night was the Arigato El Gatto, made with Japanese whiskey, mezcal, watermelon, and chili. The cocktail had the perfect balance of savory, spicy, and sw

The ahi tuna was fresh and flavorful, and a whole lobster is a

The best way to round out my trip to Newport, Rhode Island, was dining at Midtown Oyster Bar to try my first warm lobster roll. Out of the three lobster rolls I tried during my trip, this one was by far my favorite. The lobster was simple and fresh, served warm on a toasted bun, giving it the perfect combination of texture and flavor. If you’re a lobster lover visiting Newport, this is a must-try spot. Midtown Oyster Bar: 345 Thames St, Newport, RI

Perilla Fare hosts one of the most unique summer food events in Chicago: the Windy City Wiener Wars, where local chefs face off to see who can create the city’s best gourmet hot dog. The event runs for select dates throughout the summer, and I attended the second-to-last Chicago chef face-off — Noriko vs. Adalina. Each chef created their own take on the classic Chicago hot dog, and guests could try both creations for $15 and vote for their favorite. Here’s what each chef serv
