  1. One of my favorite things I did this summer was the R&B Trolley. We had so much fun singing our hearts out to all of the classics while taking in amazing views of Chicago. The ticket included drinks til exhausted and they were flowing alll night. I always wanted to do a trolley ride and I’m so glad this was my first experience. Unfortunately I’m not sure if there will be another one (sorry if you missed out) but make sure you follow @sigma_chris and @bigniq__ for more events. What was your favorite thing you did this summer in Chicago? #chicagocreator #thingstodoinchicago #uniquechicagoactitivies #rnb #trolleyride

  2. If you’re looking for unique things to do in Chicago, put this Black-owned food tour at the top of your list. 🖤🍴🚌 I’ve done plenty of food tours, but this one felt different. The Taste & Tour of Chicago with @theblackfoodies and @domuchicago wasn’t just about eating—it was a celebration of Black Chicago, local history, culture, community, and some of the city’s most iconic foods. Our tour included: 🍕 @pizanospizzachi Pizano’s Pizza & Pasta – Chicago tavern-style pizza 🍗 @rickettes_world_famous Rickett’s World Famous – fried chicken wings, fries, and Chicago’s famous mild sauce 📍 Historic Bronzeville – a drive through one of Chicago’s most significant Black cultural neighborhoods with stops highlighting local history and landmarks 🥪 @bronzevillehoagiepanini Bronzeville Hoagie & Panini – a Wagyu Italian beef sandwich tasting 🍦 @kilwinschicago Kilwins Ice Cream – an espresso cup dessert topped with a waffle cone garnish 📸 Museum Campus – one of the best skyline photo-op stops in Chicago 🍖 @wilmasfamousbbqandtavern Wilma’s Famous Jerk – rib tips, chicken tips, cabbage, and mac & cheese 🍿 @poparazzispopcorn Popper-Razzi Gourmet Popcorn – Chicago mix popcorn 🍫 @pollyanncakes Polly Ann Cakes – ooey gooey brownie bars Trust me when I say you will NOT leave hungry. 😂 Whether you’re a Chicago local looking for new experiences, entertaining out-of-town guests, planning a girls’ day, date day, or simply searching for fun Chicago activities, this is one experience worth adding to your bucket list. The Black Foodies will be announcing future tour dates soon, and this is one tour I’d absolutely do again. Have you ever taken a food tour in Chicago? 👇🏾 #ChicagoFoodie #ChicagoFoodTour #ThingsToDoInChicago #BlackOwnedChicago #BlackOwnedBusinesses ChicagoEats BronzevilleChicago ChicagoHistory ChicagoTour ChicagoActivities

  3. #Happy hour at Volo Wine Bar might’ve just become one of my favorite Chicago wine bar experiences 🍷✨ Y’all… the $1 oysters were SO fresh, plump, beautifully briny, and buttery that we literally kept ordering more 😭 paired with prosecco? Elite combo. The caviar spoons were creamy, silky, slightly ocean-y, and felt sooo luxurious with the bubbles. Then came the burger paired with a red Zinfandel and BABYYYYY… juicy, flavorful, rich, and honestly one of those perfect wine + burger pairings that just makes sense. And the chocolate mousse??? Absolutely dangerous. Velvety, airy, intensely chocolatey, and easily one of the best desserts I’ve had lately. But honestly the biggest surprise was the patio. Their enclosed hidden patio is STUNNING and easily one of the prettiest patios in Chicago. It opens during the summer, but the enclosed setup makes it perfect even now. I also loved that they have wine on tap 🍷 If you’re looking for a Chicago happy hour date night spot, girls night idea, or wine bar with amazing food and vibes, definitely add Volo to your list. 📍Roscoe Village @volowinebar ⏰ Happy Hour: Wednesday–Friday | 4–6 PM Save this for your next Chicago wine night & follow @najahla_eats for more food and fun around Chicago 💕 #VoloWineBar #HappyHourChicago #ChicagoWineBar #ChicagoHappyHour ChicagoFoodie ChicagoRestaurants RoscoeVillage ChicagoDateNight ChicagoEats WineBarChicago Ad/colllab

  2. Mother Aomjai wants to comfort your longing with noodles. That is, if you grew up in Thailand. But even if you weren’t raised in Bangkok like she was, she wants to transport you there, as if you’re perched on a plastic chair in the street, hunched over a steaming bowl of blood-thickened boat noodles; or wontons bobbing in tom yam broth with crabmeat and slabs of roasted pork; or slippery rice noodles tangled around bobbing fish balls and snappy squid bits in a rosy-red sweet and sour soup. Check out Mike Sula's feature story on Mother Aomjai’s Chicago Noodles, aka Noodles Party which takes place every Tues and Wed from 11:30 AM to 11 PM at 4205 W. Lawrence. Link in bio.

  3. Everybody who loves this classic Chicago dive bar is heartbroken by the impending closing of @frankandmarystavern. General manager @tonymatachicago ushered it out of the dark years of COVID, breathed new life into it, while preserving the best of it in amber. It would’ve closed long ago without him. Monday Night Foodball, @chicago_reader’s guest chef pop-up enjoyed more than two fun filled years here, full of great food, great company, and great memories thanks to Tony and @philthy_philll behind the bar. But Foodball abides. Thanks to @marzlet and @blinkofalens Foodball has found a temporary (for now) new home just up the street at @thattuchicago, 2601 W. Fletcher. We’re dark October 13 (HBD Vinod!) But after, please join us Mondays at 6 PM for. . . The never-ending story of Haru Haru, Oct. 20 @haruharu.chicago   Third annual luna negra with Piñatta (feat. Mary Eder-McClure), Oct. 27 @pinattachicago, @notasweetsperson   Creole soul with Saint Della, Nov. 3 @saintdellachi We aren’t going away. Stay tuned for more details on the future of Monday Night Foodball.

  1. Not to start drama but… Chicago just beat the coasts at their own game. 😏 Food & Wine ranked the 13 best sandwich shops in America, and J.P. Graziano’s — a family-owned spot that’s been feeding Chicagoans for four generations since 1937 — came in at #3 nationwide. According to Food & Wine, the U.S. has over 150,000 sandwich shops, chains included. So making the top three? That’s WILD! What makes it special? – The Italian subs are stacked like it’s a competitive sport – Their giardiniera has its own fanbase – Generations of family recipes that never needed a “modern twist” – A no-frills, old-school deli that tastes like history in sandwich form If you’ve been, drop your go-to order. If not… welcome to your next obsession. #BestInChicago #SandwichShop #ChicagoFoodCulture #WestLoopEats #FoodAndWineAwards #ChicagoRestaurants

  2. Crying Tiger in Chicago is more than a viral restaurant. It’s a story on a plate. Located in River North, Chicago, Crying Tiger is one of the city’s hottest new Southeast Asian restaurants, led by Chef Thai Dang (HaiSous, James Beard finalist) in collaboration with Lettuce Entertain You. The menu pulls from Vietnamese, Thai, and Laotian cuisine, delivering bold, layered flavors that are not watered down or made “safe.” Yes, the space is stunning. Yes, the tiger dessert is viral. But the real reason to come is the food and the story behind it. Must-order dishes at Crying Tiger: -HK crispy pork belly with garlic herb nuoc cham -Sugarcane beef bò lá lốt -Wagyu Khao Soi -Chili crisp barbecue gai yang with grilled roti This isn’t food appropriation. This is Chef Thai Dang telling his lived experience through food, refugee roots, classical training, and Southeast Asian street food elevated without losing its soul. Crying Tiger doesn’t try to impress you. It asks you to pay attention. If you’re looking for one of the best new restaurants in Chicago, a next-level River North dinner spot, or an elevated take on authentic Southeast Asian food, this belongs on your list. Save this. Share this. Go hungry. #CryingTiger #CryingTigerChicago #ChicagoFood #ChicagoEats #ChicagoRestaurants #RiverNorthChicago #RiverNorthEats #SoutheastAsianFood #VietnameseFood #ThaiFood #LaotianFood #BestRestaurantsChicago #NewRestaurantsChicago #ChicagoFoodie #EatChicago #ChefThaiDang #HaiSous #LettuceEntertainYou

  3. You don’t go to Nonna’s in Chicago for a cute sandwich. You go for one of the best Italian sandwiches in Chicago, built with zero apologies and zero gimmicks. This is Chicago sandwich culture done right. My rotation: Chicken Parm, Drunken Chicken, What The?, and the Sausage sandwich. The Drunken Chicken sandwich is elite crisp fried chicken layered with vodka sauce, pesto, melted mozzarella, parmesan, and giardiniera, all on a sesame baguette that doesn’t fall apart. The Chicken Parm here is the real deal, crispy, saucy, cheesy, and proudly shirt-ruining. The What The? sandwich is a sleeper hit loaded with fried chicken, fried eggplant, arugula, sweet spicy mayo, serrano peppers, and fresh mozzarella. And don’t sleep on the Italian sausage sandwich, crumbled for peak texture, layered with provolone, sweet peppers, pickled red onions, arugula, and giardiniera aioli. If you love hearty sandwiches, this one’s a must. This is messy, unfiltered, Chicago-style sandwich excellence. Save this. Share this. Go hungry. 📍 Nonna’s - 925 W Randolph 🥖 Specialty: Italian sandwiches, chicken parm, vodka sauce chicken 🔥 Vibe: no trends, just truth #ChicagoFood #ChicagoEats #ChicagoSandwich #ItalianSandwich #ChickenParm #ChickenParmSandwich #ItalianSub #VodkaSauce #DrunkenChicken #Giardiniera #LakeviewChicago #SouthportCorridor #ChiEats #ChicagoRestaurants #ChicagoFoodie #SandwichReel #FoodChicago #ChicagoRecs #BestOfChicago #MidwestEats #SaveThisPost #MakeChicagoHome #SandwichTok #FoodieGuide #ChicagoGuide

  1. Kasama’s viral breakfast sandwich 🥪🔥🇵🇭 📍 Location: Kasama, 1001 N Winchester Ave, Chicago, IL 60622 The first and ONLY Michelin Starred Filipino restaurant in the world. Kasama was also featured multiple times on seasons 2 and 3 of “The Bear.” 🐻🎬 Here’s what’s in the sandwich: Potato bun 🍞 Hashbrown (upon request) 🥔 Homemade longganisa patty 🌭 American cheese 🧀 Souffléed egg 🥚 The sandwich is almost perfection: Crispy hashbrown contrasts with the pillowy softness of the souffléed egg 😍 Longganisa patty is slightly sweet with a perfect char flavor 🍖👌 American cheese ties everything together beautifully 🧀✨ Pro tip from: Add spicy vinegar to cut through the richness. Filipinos typically use a vinegar-based sawsawan to balance the fat and sweetness. Next time you’re in Chicago, make sure to visit Kasama and try this incredible breakfast sandwich. You won’t regret it! 🤤 #Kasama #filipinofood #chicagofood #thebear

  1. 🍝Chicago’s hottest new restaurant on the block! Tre Dita is the talk of the town and for good reason. The pastas are made fresh in house and were delicious. The rigatoncini arabbiata was my favorite and perfect for spicy pasta lovers. Also the focaccia was incredibly soft. The window in the main dining room are simply breathtaking too. All around a must visit for food and ambiance. I recommend making a reservation as they only book 7 days in advance. This is the perfect spot for a romantic date or to celebrate a special occasion. Located on the 2nd floor of the St Regis Hotel in Chicago’s Lakeshore East neighborhood. One thing to note, make sure to let your server know if you’re vegetarian because they take such good care of you! I wasn’t able to try the desserts because they’re not purely vegetarian (contain beef gelatin) and our server was sweet to let us know.

  2. When @dcberan was chef of Next in Chicago, he had a menu called Paris 1906, with dishes straight out of Auguste Escoffier’s Le Guide Culinaire, the bible of French gastronomy. One of Dave’s courses was the canard à la Rouennaise à la presse, aka the Duck Press. After the good meaty parts of the duck are removed, bones and cavity are medieval torture-pressed through a turn-of-century contraption to extract every last drop of duck jus. All that goes into a sauce of cognac and red wine which, when served with the roast duck breast, sends diners into toe-curling full-body convulsions. Dave’s brought that dish over to @pasjoli.sm in Santa Monica, and somehow refined it to this higher plane of existence. If his presentation doesn’t flip your switch, check your circuitry. Thanks to @unclewow for shooting coverage lol

The Christkindlemarket is inspired by the 16th century christkindlemarket in Nuremberg, Germany! It’s well known for high quality vendors, gifts and food. The Chicago Christkindlemarket has 2 locations, one at Daley Plaza in downtown and one at Gallagher Way in Wrigleyville right outside the Cubs Stadium! The one in Wrigleyville also features an ice skating trip! It makes the perfect family fun holiday activity or a winter date night! #christkindlmarkt #christkindlemarketchicago #chicagofun #chicagoactivities #datenight #chicagochristmas

  2. I tried my first omurice at @kyuramen.official ! I’ve been wanting to try this for a while now! And who better to try it with than someone who’s lived in Japan and said it was pretty authentic! @shelli.eats and I really enjoyed all that @kyuramen.official had to offer! Not only was this omurice yummy, but so was their ramen and appetizers! I specially thought the pork belly bao and the squid karaage really stood out! What’s even better is that they also serve boba from Tbaar! [mediainvite] #japanesefood #omurice #chicagofoodie

  1. We’ve spent the last few months on the search for Chicago’s best diner. Two things we learned along the way: 1) Diners are about connecting with people. They’re about the neighborhoods they serve, the friendly regulars always willing to offer their opinions, and the families that frequent these establishments. They’re about the hard working people of Chicago sharing themselves through food. 2) Diners are as diverse as the people they serve. They come in all shapes and sizes and offer cuisines far beyond the old breakfast skillet. Although we only named six, there are literally dozens more we look forward to sharing. Special thank you to all those we met while working on this project! #chicago #chicagofood #chicagoeats #312 #chicagorestaurants #diner

  1. Pov you found the best diner in Lincoln Park👇 @dash_snpdiner is located right across from Oz Park in Lincoln Park, Chicago. Their whole menu is Chicago-themed and filled with the most delicious breakfast dishes. Don’t worry they have lunch too😉 They are family-owned with the sweetest and most hard working staff. Pro-tip - ALWAYS order a side of pankcakes you won’t regret it🥞 . . . . . . #chicagofoodie #chicagobreakfast #chicagofoodiesquad #chicagofood #chicagodiner #brunch #windycitybloggers #brunchinspo #chicagofoodscene #chicagofoodgoals #pancakes #breakfast #boredinchicago

  2. Let me tell you about this hidden gem💎🍝 @thepastabowl located in Lincoln Park is the coziest little restaurant. It’s the perfect spot if you’re looking for good quality Italian food at affordable prices. Pro tip - you MUST try their famous Farfalle Pollo. It’s a bow tie pasta tossed with grilled chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, mushrooms, and fresh basil. Oh, and the pecorino cream sauce! It is creamy and delicious. We also ordered the Spaghetti Frutti di Mare - spaghetti with shrimp, baby scallops, and mussels, all sautéed in a white wine and marinara sauce, topped with fresh parmesan. Everything was *chefs kiss* 🤌 . . . . #thepastabowl #chicagoitalian #chicagofoodiesquad #chicagofood #chicagofoodie #italian #italianfood #foodblogger #chicagofoodbloggers

  3. This is for my ramen lovers👇🍜 I visited the vibiest spot in Lincoln Park - and let’s just say I will be back to @ramensanchi 👏 we ordered ramen (duh), several mantou buns, Japanese lager, gyoza, salad, and dessert and it was all delish. Our waiter was super knowledgeable and gave us tons of tips in what to order. @ramensanchi has multiple locations around the city so there is no excuse not to try😉 Pro-tip get the Cinnamon Toast Crunch ice cream for dessert 🍨 . . . . . . #chicago #chichaofoodie #chicagofoodiesquad #chicagofood #chicagoramen #ramen #boredinchicago #chicagorestaurants #ramensan #chicagofoodbloggers

  1. Congrats on 10 years 🎉// KNOW BEFORE YOU GO ⬇️⬇️ Follow me @biteswithbessy for more places like this! @kabobigrill is in Albany Park, Chicago. Ben and I always try to find really delicious & great value restaurants, especially right before my flights at O'Hare 😂 & If you've followed me for a while, you'd know that I travel globally A LOT for work ✈️ this was one of them, on the way to O'Hare in Albany Park /Kimball I don't think I've ever seen such a GREAT DEAL in Chicago 💸. The whole meal was only ~$50 total. They had humongous plates , let alone fall-off-the-bone meats I can see why they've been around for 10 years ! Congrats 🎉 𝙁𝙚𝙬 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬 𝙗𝙚𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙜𝙤: 1️⃣for some reason , they will only speak to the MAN and address him as Mr. or sir. 👨‍💼 Even though I was paying for the meal 😂 ... They are SO NICE though... So maybe it's a cultural thing 🤷‍♀️ do you know why? Because I'm a little stunned 😂 2️⃣ the lamb neck is ONLY available on Fridays & Saturdays 🐑 3️⃣They open till 1am! Check out the late night menu 🌃 4️⃣ I tried some local drinks like the yogurt soda , but it was not good. # 5️⃣ But they have other local items like Persian ice cream, baklava, churro-like fried doughnut 6️⃣ You don't have to order the full appetizer, but can tag them as smaller sides for your entrees 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙬𝙚 𝙤𝙧𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙙 & 𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙘𝙚𝙨 - lamb neck $22 - chicken kebab $18 - hummus (side) - falafel (side) - tabouli $7.95 - Persian tea (complimentary) - baklava $2.95 - bamieh $2.95 𝘿𝙚𝙩𝙖𝙞𝙡𝙨 📍@kabobigrill 4748 N Kedzie Ave, Chicago IL Open 10:30am to 1:00am #halal #persianfood #albanypark #kimball #kabobigrill #mediterraneanfood #chicagofood #cheapeats #dillrice #chickenkebab #kebab #baklava #bamieh #persiantea #persian #hummus #falafel #chicagorestaurants #chicagogram #chicagoblogger #chicagofoodie #chicagoblogger #foodblogger #travelblogger #bessyinchicago

  2. 🤤 CONGRATS on your 1yr🎉 Follow @biteswithbessy for more Asian food ⬇️ Prices below Kyuramen 九湯屋拉麵 has more than 120 locations in Asia This brand is celebrating their 10 year anniversary next year, since their very first store in 2014 And they opened the Chicago downtown location exactly one year ago! I like their Omurice , because it's hard to make. you have to get the right balance between texture , heat, and speed That's why right when they cut it, the japanese omelette can immediately open like curtains on the fried rice I've been to Japan almost a dozen times but surprisingly I've never had omurice 😂. When I usually go to Japan, I crave sushi, ramen, udon, Wagyu, and shabu/sukiyaki 🍜 🐮 Now that I've tried it, I can't go back!  I get to taste all the best things that Japan has to offer in the heart of Chicago downtown ❤️ It's one of the only places that has Omurice in Chicago. Definitely worth checking out‼️ 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗲 𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 Tbaar Pink Grapefruit Aloe Tea $6.45 Takoyaki $9.99 Popcorn Chicken $8.99 Okinomayaki $8.49 Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen $17.99 Desserts $4.99 each 𝗥𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗯𝗼 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝟮 𝗳𝗼𝗿 $𝟱𝟱 Kyushu Tonkatsu Ramen Sapporo miso ramen  Popcorn Chicken Cherry blossom jelly dessert Matcha pudding with red bean dessert 𝗢𝗺𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗳𝗼𝗿 $𝟮𝟬 Choose from curry or demi-glaze Choose from amazing lemonade* or Thai iced tea *highly recommend the lemonade as they mix 5 different fruit juices including passion fruit, lychee, orange, apple, and lemon.
