Swedish Pancakes With Lingonberries Still Anchor Breakfast At This Andersonville Diner In Chicago, Illinois

A Viking breakfast in Illinois comes with falukorv sausage, eggs, potatoes, and thin Swedish pancakes topped with lingonberries. That combination alone made me sit up straight. The room matches the plate. Swedish folk art fills the walls, and whimsical tablecloths cover small tables in a cozy blue and yellow space.

Ringling Bros. Circus Returns to Rosemont With Daredevil Bello Nock, Seven Shows

The Greatest Show on Earth is pitching its tent in Rosemont this weekend, as Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey brings its animal-free reboot to Allstate Arena for seven performances running Friday through Sunday. The production leans on acrobats, trapeze artists and a live DJ rather than elephants or lions, and it's bringing along a seventh-generation daredevil who's made a name for himself well beyond the big top.

Chicago Bakeries Knew Apple Pie Needed More Corners

Chicago-style bakery apple slices take everything comforting about apple pie and reshape it into generous squares made for sharing. Instead of a traditional round pie with only a few coveted edge pieces, this Midwestern favorite spreads tender apple filling between broad pastry layers and finishes the top with a sweet glaze. The result delivers soft cinnamon-spiced fruit, flaky crust, and sugary icing in nearly every bite. It feels nostalgic even if you did not grow up visiting a Chicago neighborhood bakery because the combination resembles the sort of dessert that might have appeared at a family gathering decades ago. The rectangular format also makes the treat practical: it can be cut into tidy portions, packed for an event, or served straight from the pan without worrying about perfect pie wedges. Familiar apple flavor remains at the center, but the bakery-style presentation gives it a personality all its own.

This Unassuming Illinois Pizzeria Serves Sausage Pizza So Good It Should Almost Be Illegal

Anthony Bourdain called one pan pizza the only deep dish he ever loved. That pie still comes out of a small, homey pizzeria on a quiet suburban street in Illinois. The crust edge gets so dark and caramelized that it looks almost burnt. It isn’t. That crunchy, cheesy rim is the whole point, and the sausage on top is a house blend.

I’ve Tried 15+ Matcha Spots in Chicago. Here Are My Top Five

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Northwestern chapter and does not reflect the views of Spoon University. Matcha has skyrocketed in popularity over the past year for plenty of reasons: its earthy taste, clean aesthetic, health benefits, reputation as a coffee alternative… or maybe just for being performative? Whatever the reason may be, it’s clear that matcha has earned its place in today’s cafes, especially with specialty matcha spots popping up all over Chicago.
