CRAVING: Heaven on Seven
LOCATION: Two in Chicago, but I was at the one at Rush and Ohio, Chicago
WHY: We live in the Midwest, so when good, old-fashioned southern food shows up in Chicago, it's hard to resist. Everything is good here, from the classic gumbo to their jalapeno corn hush puppies, you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. And their coconut cream cake, a classic in the south, is to die for. To make it even better, the experience of sitting in the restaurant is one of the best in the area: the walls are lined with thousands of different types of hot sauces, and the ceilings are dripping with Mardi Gras beads. Head here and you're guaranteed a good time.
FAVORITE: Every time I go I get the same thing: Cajun fried chicken salad with a cup of gumbo. The gumbo comes with the salad, and the honey jalapeno dressing makes the entire dish explode in your mouth.
