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)

My parents are visiting this week and mom and I made dinner tonight. Salmon is seasoned with Trader Joe’s ajika (a Georgian spice blend) and we just roasted the broccoli. The standout is the mejadara. It’s spiced rice and lentils with fried onions and is popular throughout the Middle East. We used the recipe from Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi’s cookbook, Jerusalem.

Found a random engagement ring.

Hi all, so I found a platinum ring (which I assumed it's an engagement ring as it has dates and initials engraved on top.) And a Divvy tag (I have no idea what it was until I googled it. Apparently it's a bike sharing service in Chicago) in a briefcase I ordered online. I was thinking of returning the item back to the store but that wouldn't help the person who lost the ring. Attached is a picture of them.

What should I do now?
