Weber Grill Restuarant is all set to open its newest location in Orland Park this week, and I was invited to their cocktail party just ahead of the launch.

The evening featured hors d’oeuvres, and a carving station loaded with brisket, pastrami, steak, and beef ribs. As someone who rarely passes up a good beef rib, the carving station easily stole the show for me.

Congratulations to the Weber Grill team on the new location. Wishing them a successful opening week, and I’m looking forward to coming back soon to experience the full menu.

Uyuhaus in Buffalo Grove is making small batch Asian inspired ice cream out of their home kitchen and the flavor range is genuinely impressive. Thai Tea, Perilla Oil with Pumpkin Seed Brittle, Vietnamese Coffee, Taro, Ube - and even a Blackberry Sumac option that pulls from Arabic and Mediterranean influences. They’re not playing it safe here and it shows.

Ordering is simple - head to their Instagram, place your order through the link, get a pickup time, and grab your pints in Buffalo Grove. Around eleven bucks a pint for this quality is more than fair. Worth seeking out.

Yeero Revolution in Buffalo Grove has become a staple for Greek street food in the north suburbs. Been coming back consistently since they opened and proud to call John a friend at this point. Warm atmosphere, clean food, and a spot that genuinely feels like it belongs to the neighborhood.

The yeeros are their bread and butter and it shows. Fresh off the rotisserie, consistent every single time. But they’re always pushing things forward too - a smashburger on pita buns, creative flavors, new ideas that still feel true to their roots.

Migos Fine Foods in Portage Park is the kind of spot that makes you appreciate what Chicago’s neighborhood food scene is really about. Chefs Brian Jupiter and Ozi have spent over a decade in some of Chicago’s top kitchens, and chose to channel that into something personal - a community driven halal spot where the craft shows up in every single dish.

Southern comfort meets Mexican flavors. Chicken al pastor tacos, lamb cheesesteak torta, beignets - every dish carries the same level of intention and care. Bronzeville just got their second location so be sure to go support these guys.

La Dō in Northbrook is doing sourdough deep dish out of a suburban office complex and it’s one of those hidden gems you’d never stumble upon unless someone pointed you in the right direction. Their menu has some solid options. The Chicago Way with Italian beef and giardiniera, a veggie special, and many others. I added a sourdough cookie to my order too. The sourdough crust is excellent and they’ve clearly got the recipe dialed in. Worth seeking out.
