"Don't eat fried chicken," says the health-conscious chef at Chef Luciano/ Gourmet Chicken. This takeout spot in the South Loop is not your average fried chicken joint (there's only one fried option: wings.) And don't be confused either; the building actually has two entrances, one for Chef Luciano and the other for Gourmet Chicken--connected restaurants with the same owner.
Entrees such as jerk chicken, fresh salmon, roasted chicken piri piri (seasoned with the African pepper) and grilled catfish are fresh-tasting, aromatic and much more than anyone could finish in one sitting. Or try the pollo carbone, a new favorite, and the Chilean sea bass. Dinners come with plentiful sides, such as stir-fried vegetables, rice, potatoes, black beans or garlic bread.
