5 Best Restaurants in Rockford, Illinois You Need to Try Before Everyone Else Finds Them
Rockford, Illinois — a city where the Rock River carves a silver ribbon through neighborhoods stitched with memory and hope, where red-brick factories stand shoulder to shoulder with art deco theaters, and the air is alive with the laughter of families, the hum of old engines, and the scent of something soulful simmering on the stove. Here, the city’s heart beats in a patchwork of cultures — Swedish, Italian, Mexican, Black, and new arrivals from every corner — all gathering at tables that feel like home. It’s a place where Friday night lights glow over high school fields, where murals bloom on downtown walls, and where the food scene is as honest and unpretentious as the people who call this city home.

The New Brew Crew: Women Shaping Madison’s Craft Beer Scene
By Kevin Revolinski | Photos by: Steph Shanks Photography (left), Shanna Wolf (middle), Hillary Schave (right) A California native, DeAnda-Reyna was driven to brewing by curiosity. She started as the only woman on the packaging team at a local brewery. She filled kegs for eight hours a day, scrubbed mold out of drains and tanks, and picked caps and crowns off the line until her fingers bled. Eventually, she received two academic scholarships from the Pink Boots Society, a nonprofit geared toward women and nonbinary people working in the fermented beverage and related industries, and kept working in the field. In 2018, she joined Octopi Brewing as the only woman on the team. When Tumbled Rock Brewery & Kitchen opened in 2019, the owners tapped her as head brewer and involved her in all of the planning.
