    Green Grocer Chicago

    Green Grocer Chicago - 2 1/2

    The best deals are the free classes each Saturday. Next up: A self-taught amateur cheesemaker will share mozzarella-making tips. Make your own using Traders Point Creamery milk from Indiana--or just pick up some of the Wisconsin cheeses that Green always has in stock.

    Sun Wah Bar-B-Q Restaurant - 5

    5041 N. Broadway - Chicago (Uptown)

    Mike's Fried Chicken (impossibly juicy chicken that's roasted then fried whole; pictured) is still only available to those in the know. (Call ahead and they'll have it ready when you arrive.) The three-course Beijing duck (roast duck served Peking-style) they started serving last year is still on the menu. And the soup section has ballooned: Look for aromatic soups like duck with winter melon and ginseng, and soupy rice casseroles with dried meats. There will be a $20 to $25 reservation-only prix-fixe once a week.
