Oh! I also love El Nuevo in Lincoln Park which is a female owned business. They have a great patio and delivery margaritas

Andy’s Thai Kitchen in Lakeview. If you can handle spicy they can definitely hook you up. Edgewater Tacos up north is the bomb too!

Awesome thanks, will try something different this week!

like

East Lakeview - esencia cafe (brunch with MX influences) and Ms Ts southern fried chicken.

Both are excellent and are small minority family owned businesses.

like

Any small Mexican burrito place. Tony’s burrito on Belmont and Damen or any place near wrigley. Those guys make a lot of their money on the drunk weekend crowd

Not food related- but Train Moment is a gym that also offers online classes- both live and on demand (TMathome.com)- it’s female and minority owned gym. The couple first opened the gym about a year ago- just before the pandemic- and now is expecting their first baby this winter.

Check them out, especially if you are interested in some online group classes or workouts you can do on your own. The owner-couple are amazing, kind, and gracious and the 5 instructors are top notch and very motivating. Tmathome.com or trainmoment.com

Jung Boo in Avondale

Jerky jerk! Was looking around awhile for good Jamaican food and found this awesome spot. Their wings are fantastic and the jerk chicken (white meat) with rice and peas is top notch

• EuroAsia near Seward Park. One of the few central Asian restaurants in the city!

• Ann’s Bakery in Ukrainian Village. Slavic bakery/deli/grocery store.

Can’t go wrong with their lagman. The manty, borscht, and kurdaak are also really good. By all accounts it’s pretty authentic Kyrgyz/Russian comfort food. One note, the service can seem a little cold but I think that may just be a cultural difference. The prices are great for the food you get.

Clawback clause in current contract: been in role for over 2 yrs, it was an internal move that required relocation. Relocation was approved shortly after (over 2 yrs ago) but covid meant the actual move and start of my contract with new subsidiary was delayed, I was paid by the previous subsidiary meanwhile. I got small relocation package. Would internal move be subject to a buy-out/clawback clause if I leave now and if yes, is it time in role or time under new contract? Any experience? Thanks!

Anyone have advice for advancing in your current role? My co-worker was hired in at manager level but somehow “proved” he was actually doing director level work and got a title promotion and salary increase in less than a year. I also went above and beyond my job as well (covering for him for a month while he was away on paternity leave) while taking on other projects outside of my job title and got zip—no raise or recognition. Any advice would be appreciated!

I was supportive of Lori when this virus first started but her actions since have dwindled my support of her. I don’t expect her to make every decision correct nor do we have to agree with all of them. I believe she should be correct around 75 percent of the time but I believe she is in the 50 percent range. I know everything doesn’t fall on her shoulder but things haven’t been great as of late. Hopefully they figure out something soon.
