Fab Review: No Bones Beach Club

March 28, 2019 by Contributing Writer

Fab Review: No Bones Beach Club #fabfoodchicago // Crab Cakes, Jackfruit Flautas, Beer Battered Avocado Taco, and Buffalo Cauliflower // Photo: @topchicagoeatsNo Bones Beach Club is a vegan restaurant in Wicker Park but also in Portland and Seattle. It originally began as a food truck in Seattle but now have expanded into Chicago. Vegan food isn’t all about boring salads. Their motto is “just because it’s vegan doesn’t mean it sucks” and I couldn’t agree more.

Fab Review: Katana

October 11, 2018 by Contributing Writer

Fab Review: Katana // Tsukiji and Kani Maki // Photo: @topchicagoeatsKatana is celebrating their one year anniversary! It is a popular Japanese restaurant, which originated in Los Angeles and opened last year here in Chicago. The kitchen is led by chef Jose Melendez and Rob Juan. The trendy, modern vibe of the restaurant really suits the River North neighborhood. Katana markets its original location in L.A. as “the place to be.” They are on the right path to accomplishing the same for Chicago as well.

Fab Review: Brunch at Ronero

March 30, 2018 by Contributing Writer

Fab Review: Brunch at Ronero // Arepa Benedict, Breakfast Cubano, and Sweet & Tart Waffles // Photo: @topchicagoeatsAs a food Instagrammer, I go to a lot of restaurants for brunch. After a while, brunch food can get repetitive. So I’m always looking for different cuisines and creative dishes that stand apart from the brunch norm. Ronero is the perfect spot.

Fab Happenings: Chicago Restaurant Week 2018

February 8, 2018 by Contributing Writer

Maki & Nigiri at Naoki // Photo: @topchicagoeats
It’s one of my favorite times of the year…  Choose Chicago‘s Chicago Restaurant Week. Over 370 restaurants participated this year with special prix fixe menus for brunch ($22), lunch ($33), or dinner ($44). Normally it runs for two weeks (this year: January 26-February 8) but they just announced they will be extending a few more days (until February 11 at select restaurants) to align with Chicago Theatre Week. Don’t miss your chance!
