The vibe is different. The menu is shorter. The prices are higher. And the service? Perhaps not as attentive as you remembered. Your favorite restaurant probably isn't the same. But then again, who is? timeout.com/news/your-favo…

Adam Toledo was 13 years old and had his hands in the air and police killed him. The prosecution said that he had a gun in his hand. He did not. How many more Black and brown babies have to die before you realize that the policing system is designed to kill us with impunity?

I obsessively read @dropkickjeffy's reviews when I was learning how to edit restaurant criticism. His are in a class of their own—fantastically meaty and wonderfully accessible. Raising a glass to you, sir.

I’ve decided to leave behind my post as Chicago magazine’s dining critic. This may seem like a great big So What, considering there isn’t a whole lot of dining criticism to do at the moment …and frankly, the world has bigger problems than whether I liked the dry-aged duck. (1/9)

I hear this, but I’m disappointed that @edible_words isn’t mentioned here. Though her role at @TimeOutChicago is paused due to the pandemic, she’s been penning brilliant reviews for 4 years and uncovering spots other critics wouldn’t bat an eye at.

The vaccine isn't going to be effective for everyone — we know that. Take baby steps when it's your turn to get the shot. Takeout, delivery and outdoor dining are all safer alternatives until most folks are vaccinated and we can (hopefully) let our hair down.

The docs I chatted with for this story offered so much practical advice. Perhaps most important is the idea of looking at vacc rates + new COVID cases in your community to assess whether or not indoor dining is right for you + the ppl you'll encounter. timeout.com/food-and-drink…

"With more hate crimes, more misogyny, and more racist, belittling and straight-up false rhetoric comes a fear and xenophobia that threatens the incredible potential of future generations of Asian business owners." —@kim617/@weareomsom timeout.com/usa/news/we-mu…

From a podcaster and an app developer to a cannabis connoisseur and a group of farmers, these are the women who are shaping the future of the food and drink industry. timeout.com/food-and-drink…
