The critically acclaimed Galit restaurant in Lincoln Park has a new sibling, right next door. And our Food Guy says it’s quite a departure from the Middle Eastern-focused tasting menu of its big brotherThis new café is almost a polar opposite of its predecessor. No tasting menu, no reservations and a renewed emphasis on its pastry program. In essence, lots of new ideas in a more casual environment, and a dual personality that changes throughout the day.

All year long, NBC Chicago Food Guy Steve Dolinsky has been diving into "Chicago Classics."They're restaurants that are at least 15 years old with consistently good food and atmosphere that you'd be proud to take a tourist to. Tonight, that's Piccolo Sogno, located in the city's River West neighborhood. The brainchild of a chef who worked at Coco Pazzo for a decade before, this River West gem continues to fire on all cylinders showing no signs of slowing down.

The Mexican state of Michoacán is often referred to as “The Soul of Mexico,” partly for its culture, partly for its food. It’s the world’s largest grower of avocados, but also the birthplace of carnitas, which our Food Guy says are produced with dedication by a family celebrating 50 years in business. They’re marking the occasion by opening their third location, and it’s a big one. NBC Chicago's Steve Dolinsky takes a look inside.

With the season of Lent now underway, many Catholics turn their attention away from meat. That means not only the arrival of the pepper-and-egg sandwich at your local beef stand, but also a focus on seafood. Our Food Guy says there’s a pair of suburban fish markets where they sell wholesale and retail, plus serve their catch in a casual restaurant. Old School fish markets like Hagen’s on the Northwest Side or Calumet Fisheries down south will see a bump in business over the next few weeks.

“…a squirt of hot brown mustard every third bite…” is the kind of specificity I appreciate from @Jenn_Harris_ - instructions re: a pastrami dip at Langer’s. And now I’m bummed I settled for the #19 my last visit.

The best pastrami dip sandwich in the city may be at this Westlake deli https://t.co/9xXxnRqtmZ

Word.

Chicago is the only city in history that has been instrumental in producing a Pope, a President, a Dark Knight and a GOAT. https://t.co/L9AYypO4xr

One of the first businesses to re-open in Lahaina after the wildfires of 2023 is Sal e Pepe. Fascinating and heart warming story of love and loss, and pizza, of course. New show is up: https://t.co/a6JN4CnlJb https://t.co/bR2pr3qPhh
