Chicago Magazine

Gastronomy for All

A Postscript

Tastes Like Home • Thank you for this [“An Ode to the Supermercado,” February]. I grew up in Little Village and one thing I always looked forward to was digging in the box of tortillas for the warm ones at the bottom.

The GOAT • Before Girl & the Goat, there was just chef Stephanie Izard and a whole lot of pressure.

Your Best Doughnut Photos

Talking Points • This month’s essential cocktail party fodder

In Too Deep • Lake Michigan’s clobbering of the shore has left waterfront home owners on edge — and put doubts in buyers’ minds.

The Burden of Hope • First-time novelist Sahar Mustafah on crafting a story without easy answers

Woman vs. House • Life was not always white I-beams and big glass energy at the iconic Farnsworth House. A new book spills all.

Green for Red • Meet the Chicagoan who’s poured the most into Trump’s campaign coffers.

The 2020 White Sox • Because, yes, this could be the year they eclipse the Cubs.

Wild Reverie • Painter Kim Knoll turns her favorite travel memories into abstract works of art.

Go-Go Logo • The bag brand known for its excess arrives in Chicago with a Michigan Avenue boutique.

Karen Herold’s Plasterer • The interior designer shares her go-to artisan for wall texture.

Theo Germaine • Actor, aerialist, intuitive eater

Store Insta Feeds • The ’Gram posts from these local boutiques provide inspiration worth a double tap.

Ask a Budtender • Featuring Lorena Cupcake

A Plastic Is Born • Can a weekend boot camp make my Broadway dreams come true?

Cocktails a la Mexicana • Modern mixology crosses the border at a hidden bar in Little Village.

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Fired Up

Go With the Grain • Add warmth and texture to a room with these modern wooden accessories.

How Can I Inject Personality Into My Kitchen?

Blood, Glitter, and Glory • Roller derby may not make you a better mom, but it just might save your life.

BEST NEW RESTAURANTS • It’s been a thrilling year in dining. Just witness the 15 places that made our rankings. They deliver serious gastronomy in surprising ways, from creating accessible tasting menus that aren’t pricey all-night affairs to interpreting far-flung cuisines through a local lens.

“HONEY, IT’S Everything” • The infectiously effusive Nick Cave wants to make art that moves you.

WHERE TO GET STUFF FIXED • Jewelry, lamps, shoes, pianos — if it’s broken, don’t worry. We’ve got your back. (We’ve even got a fix for that, too.)

They Were Warriors • Thirty years ago this month, activists—many fighting for their lives—took to the streets of downtown Chicago in one of the biggest AIDS demonstrations in history. Here’s how that pivotal protest played out, in the words of those who were there.
