Summer is here! And if you’re not excited, then honestly, you’re crazy. After that April snow, we were a little worried that it would never come, but here it finally is. And with the warmer weather comes our deliciously amazing NEW SUMMER 2018 ISSUE!
We are especially excited for this issue because our cover star is a Chicago favorite that has been a staple in the Windy City food world for years: Tortoise Supper Club {350 North State Street, Chicago; 312.755.1700}. Co-owner Keene Addington, who helms the restaurant with his wife Megan, says they work to serve up approachable, but delicious, food and a welcoming atmosphere every day.
“A lot of people have asked us what kind of food we serve here, and our answer is traditional American,” Addington says. “We’re not looking to be the newest trend or the hippest place. We want to be a nice, white tablecloth restaurant that is approachable, friendly, and not stiff or stuffy.”
Get in line and make your reservations now! They have a patio perfect for summertime after all.
Our other top stories for this issue include:
- Casual spots that still have gourmet cuisine, like The Café at The Ritz-Carlton, Beatrix Market, and Hannah’s Bretzel.
- A snapshot behind the scenes of Blackbird with chefs Paul Kahan and Ryan Pfieffer.
- What’s new in Wrigleyville, including Bodega Sur, BITES, and the Hotel Zachary
- The Japanese-inspired oasis that is Katana.
- Not to miss patios and rooftops for summertime (we see you NoMI, Torali, and Ronero)
- The best in summer festivals, like Windy City Smokeout and Pridefest.
- And so much more!
