OP asked for “absolute favorite” not favorite within a budget or favorite for a non-special occasion. This is also a Chicago advertising bowl so most people are making a decent salary.

Never disappointed with Geja’s fondue. More of a date/special occasion place.

idk if you’re a sushi or hot pot fan but if you like the food friends station is a really cool experience.

$30 all you can eat hotpot and the food comes on a mini conveyer belt to the table and you take off what you want

Here’s a few more:

Sun Wah BBQ — get the whole peking duck dinner.

Tanta and Amaru for Peruvian food. Tanta on the weekends has Nikkei style Peruvian sushi if you sit at the bar.

Moody Tongue — eat the “bar” part of the restaurant (not the $500 tasting menu part)

JJ Thai, Sticky Rice, or Rainbow Thai for pretty damn close to authentic northern Thai food.

Alla Vita has the best spicy rigatoni vodka

Bixi Beer in Logan is great (Asian food)

Should I stay at a company I know I like culture-wise when my manager said they will try to promote me, but with no guarantee. Or should I take a job offer I was given with a nice raise, but is in consulting at Slalom. I have not worked in consulting before. There is no travel with Slalom, but the idea of being the new person all the time isn’t too appealing. Less pay and known culture, or more pay unknown job satisfaction?
