Tom Yum @ Next
Tom yum @NextRestaurant is called hot and sour broth. Fine. Just give me a spoon and maybe a fork, so I don’t miss any of the pork belly floating around the bowl. NEXT: 953 W FULTON MARKET; 312-226-0858

Sauces @ Next
@pennypollack: So many courses, wines & flavors @NextRestaurant. I can’t name all of these spices & sauces, but I know loved them. NEXT: 953 W FULTON MARKET; 312-226-0858
Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse @ GT Fish & Oyster
Nothing tops off a meal of oysters and lobster roll @ GT Fish & Oyster quite like chocolate/peanut butter mousse with caramel and berry coulis. GT FISH & OYSTER: 531 N WELLS; 312-929-3501
Smoked Hamachi Crudo @ GT Fish & Oyster
The smoked hamachi crudo @ GT Fish & Oyster might be star of this show, but pay attention to the Asian pear, the hijiki, and the edamame too. GT FISH & OYSTER: 531 N WELLS; 312-929-3501
Baja Shrimp Bruschetta @ GT Fish & Oyster
@pennypollack: Even if everything falls off the toasted baguettes, Baja shrimp bruschetta @ GT Fish & Oyster is worth the fuss of a fork. GT FISH & OYSTER: 531 N WELLS; 312-929-3501
Cornbread @ West on North
It looks innocent, but the cornbread @ West on North packs a wallop—crusty on the outside and moist, cheesy, and jalapeño-y on the inside. WEST ON NORTH: 2509 W NORTH AVE; 773-278-7710
Grilled Cheese @ West on North
The grilled cheese @ West on North packs goat and Swiss cheeses, caramelized onions & apple-wood-smoked bacon between two pieces of Texas toast. It’s all there under the curly fries. Honest. WEST ON NORTH: 2509 W NORTH AVE; 773-278-7710
Rib Eye @ West on North
@pennypollack: The 16-oz, $16, grilled rib eye @ West on North comes w/skin-on mashed potatoes & tender sautéed veggies. Best deal in town. WEST ON NORTH: 2509 W NORTH AVE; 773-278-7710
The Continental @ Fraîche
Mix the sunny-side-up egg into the lardon-studded greens @ Fraîche. It’s called the Continental & it’s pleasant, but the toasty poppyseed muffins upstage the production. FRAÎCHE: 815 NOYES, EVANSTON; 847-475-5467
French Toast @ Fraîche
Almond cream–stuffed brioche French toast @ Fraîche is thick and fluffy & if it were stuffed w/less almond cream, I could get into it. Maple syrup comes in an espresso cup. Cute. FRAÎCHE: 815 NOYES, EVANSTON; 847-475-5467
