OWEN & ENGINE: 2700 N Western, 773-235-2930
GIRL & THE GOAT: 809 W Randolph, 312-492-6262 @pennypollack: Steamed mussels @StephAndTheGoat are yummy but they play second fiddle to the goat-sausage croutons.
CITY PROVISIONS DELICATESSEN: 1818 W Wilson, 773-293-2489 @pennypollack: The choices @CityProvisions are killer—shrimp salad, crab cakes, corned beef, and simple but swoonful egg salad.
SONO WOOD-FIRED: 1582 N Clybourn, 312-255-1122 @pennypollack: I laid off pizza for a while, but the funghi with Fontina @sonowoodfired got me hooked all over again.
CHICAGO FIREHOUSE: 1401 S Michigan, 312-786-1401
CHICAGO FIREHOUSE: 1401 S Michigan, 312-786-1401 @pennypollack: Wish this were a better photo because Kendal Duque’s porcini risotto @FirehouseRstrnt is remarkable.
CAFETERIA: 119 7th Ave, New York City, 212-414-1717 @pennypollack: I’m back from my NYC food crawl but the memories linger on. Like decadent mac & cheese flight at Cafeteria.
Story highlights from the November 2010 issue of Chicago magazine, including 30 must-have Mexican dishes, Joakim Noah’s dramatic turnaround, and 40 “Oh my God” moments.
