  1. 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

  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. Really tasty if you like refreshing & tart drinks 𝗢𝗺𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗲 + 𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗧𝗼𝗻𝗸𝗮𝘁𝘀𝘂 + 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗳𝗼𝗿 $𝟮𝟰 (asked to put the pork cutlets on the side) 𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿 Monday To Thursdays 4:30-6pm $5 appetizers including: Chili garlic edamame Popcorn chicken  Isa Geso Karaage  📍@kyuramen.official @kyuramen.chicago @tbaarofficial 6 W Hubbard Street, Chicago 60654 Open 11-9:30pm Closes 10:30 on Fri & Sat No reservations #kyuramen #chicagoloop #九湯屋拉麵 #chicagoramen #omurice #chicagoomurice #chicagorestauranta #chicagofood #chicagoeats #ramen #karaage #炸雞 #friedchicken #tonkatsurmamen #spicyramen #芝加哥美食 #芝加哥 芝加哥拉麵 #蛋包飯 #日式料理 #日式蛋包飯 #柚子

  3. Happy 4/20 everybody! I’m beyond proud to announce that what I’ve been working towards & manifesting for the past decade is finally coming into fruition. I will be one of the first Latino cannabis operators in Illinois with products that I’ve been developing for several years from California to New York and between. I can say that now that I’m ready to step into my own licensed kitchen. This is a project forged by many years of painful dedication and difficult sacrifice. I’m immensely grateful for my team that has always supported @herbalnotes and now grateful for the team I have in this next venture. To be trusted to lead the way is something I’ll never take lightly. I’m so excited to bring products that I don’t just see as cheap candy. I’ve been deliberate and intentional with creating chef-driven products that are designed for human beings, not simply “consumers”. They’re designed for wellness, for taste and flavor & for our universal connectednesses to one another and this planet. The industry needs more intentionality and authenticity. I’m not serving you hype shit. I’m giving you soul food in edible form. I’m a chef, a farmer and have always believed in the healing properties of food and cannabis. Now I get to truly showcase my passion and my dreams to the world. It was all just a dream until it wasn’t anymore. If you are out there grinding for the bigger picture, put one in the air for your boy and for yourself today. Remember don’t ever stop feeding your soul. This Salvadoran/Mexican kid from Pilsen is coming soon to a dispensary near you 😉 📷 @anthonygoslawski
