If you want to go beyond your cookie-cutter curries and pad thais, come here, but request "the second menu." My favorites are the fish maw salad and the chewy beef "jerky." Read more.
Butchers breakfast on the weekend (especially their breakfast potatoes)-- and amazing mochas you can take to go. Also recommend the return of the gyro!

We got a few small plates and everything was delicious. Beers were all solid and even my non-beer drinking friend had 2 flights. We also tried a cocktail which was amazing as well.
Yebeg Alicha, Zilzil Grilled Tibs(lamb), and Derek Tibs are really good. Try the traditional honey wine (Tej) from the drinks.

Fantastic brunch here. Get the Bloody Mary bar, it's a meal in itself and the best I've seen in Chicago (beef jerky, yes please). I recommend the Stout Omelet & Nutella pancakes for a glorious meal.

Sit outside and smoke. Go inside and smoke someone at Ping Pong. Order beef jerky on a whim and realize it was a huge mistake.
Wonderful outdoor patio, when the sunshines it's a great spot for drinking with friends and cheap too. Chilled out atmosphere
Head inside, grab a cheap drink and keep on going through the back door to a spacious canopied patio. They don't serve food, but you're welcome to have a pizza delivered. Read more.
Get the chicken confit poutine. Incredibly flavorable and the half portion is perfect for one with a half sandwich.
