Better than the State Fair: Where to Find Chicago's Tastiest Soft Pretzels

It'll cost you, but one of Hannah's bretzel (as in, pretzel-bread) sandwiches will stick in your memory. Try the insanely good serrano ham/Manchego cheese creation. Breakfast is tasty too.

Perfect for summer thanks to its sprawling outdoor patio; perfect for winter thanks to its crackling fireplace: This is a Ukie Village treasure. Did I mention the food kicks ass?

The Four Seasons' restaurant is top-notch. Don't expect generic hotel-fare--instead, it's locally sourced seasonal creations (and one downright delectable burger). The miso-butterscotch shake is a must.

So refreshing: A Bar where the focus is on beer (brewed on site!) & not flatscreens. Try the Bottom Up Wit. Food's delish too- great burger!

Be bold & taste the wacky-sounding meaty plates; they're indulgent & delish. Dinner's always a zoo, so I love the dialed-down brunch.

The craft beer flows like water at this bi-level sports bar. Food is fun & a small notch above most bars'. Good spot to watch the Badgers' game.
