Chicago dining scene sees healing foods and new Chinese spots

The Chicago food scene is cooking up fresh developments in food as medicine, new Chinese eateries, a Fulton Market Gibson's and some changes at LeTour and Sifr. Let's dig in. Herbal medicine: Award-winning Edgewater Thai restaurant Herb is launching new dishes designed to heal and delight. Chef Patty Neumson tells Axios that recent health challenges inspired her to infuse fresh menu items with healing ingredients from traditional food cultures including ginger, turmeric and cassia leaves. Winter squash chicken curry at Herb in Edgewater. Photo: Monica Eng/Axios Eat up: I recently sampled a velvety winter squash and chicken curry, zingy ginger pork, refreshing pomelo salad and pleasingly (for me) bitter cassia leaf curry that can be served with tofu or beef. All intense but delicious. Fresh Chinese spots Dungeness crabs at Marina Bay in the 88 Market. Photo: Monica Eng/Axios Last month saw the opening of perhaps the city's biggest Hong Kong-style dim sum and seafood spot with Marina Bay in Chinatown's 88 Market Place. The enormous main dining room offers dim sum until 3pm, when it becomes a Hong Kong-style seafood restaurant and banquet facility. What I'm eyeing: All the traditional Cantonese fare, of course, but also matcha Phoenix buns

Lake View Home Where John Vinci Saved Chicago's Lost Buildings Faces Landmark Vote

The immediate question is whether the Commission on Chicago Landmarks will give preliminary landmark status to architect John Vinci’s Lake View residence and studio at 3152 N. Cambridge Ave. at its Thursday meeting. The proposed designation would recognize the 1893 house, Vinci’s preservation work and the architecture firm he started there. Vinci, now 89, bought the two-story home in 1969 for $40,000.

Pritzker, IBM unveil quantum computer fueled by state taxpayers

(The Center Square) – Gov. J.B. Pritzker says a new quantum computer in Chicago will bring jobs to Illinois, after state taxpayers provided $25 million for the project. State and local officials joined administrators from the University of Chicago and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign at the unveiling of the IBM Quantum System Two at Hyde Park Labs in Chicago on Friday. Pritzker said quantum means companies investing billions of dollars and creating thousands of jobs. “Scientific innovation is hugely important and the results of it are as well. It’s also really important that this is an economic boom for the state of Illinois,” the governor said. The public-private project includes a $25 million grant from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity. In a statement to investors, IBM said it generated $67.5 billion in revenue and delivered $14.7 billion in free cash flow last year, the company’s highest free flow cash margin in reported history. Officials said the System Two would relocate to the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park when the facility opens on Chicago’s Southeast Side. Illinois, Cook County and Chicago governments have provided hundreds of millions of dollars in tax incentives for companies to operate at

Chicago festival grounds proposal raises questions over benefits

(The Center Square) – Chicago voters overwhelmingly voted Tuesday in support of a permanent festival grounds for the city in a non-binding ballot question. While there was support, the question may have left some with more questions about the proposal. The question, which asked if it should have its own festival grounds on publicly owned land, didn't advise voters of a location, costs to the city’s taxpayers or when planning would begin. Alderman Nicole Lee, the councilwoman behind the ballot question, said a festival site would help shift the delay and closure of public parks after events like Lollapalooza or Riot Fest. After a particularly rainy Riot Fest concluded in Douglass Park, neighborhood residents complained the park’s grass had been entirely killed and the park was mainly a field of mud. Residents complain each year that the festival ruins the park, but Riot Fest’s organizers say they bear the costs of restoring the park. This year, restoration began two days after the festival concluded, and the festival’s founder, “Riot” Mike Petryshyn said it cost them between $400,000 and $600,000. One co-owner of the independently owned music venue Bookclub in the city’s Lakeview neighborhood, Nick Heineman, raised questions in a video
