Channel your inner Carmy or Sydney from “The Bear” on your next visit to Chicago.
Chicago is abuzz with sightings of the cast. Seasons 3 and 4 are shooting back to back, and despite showrunners’ best efforts to throw Chicagoans off their trail with filming code names, actors have been spotted at O’Hare International Airport, an Evanston church and the lakefront.
“I think Carmy would be buds with Jonathan,” imagines Jason Hammel, the chef and owner behind Logan Square institution Lula Cafe, since two chefs working to keep their family’s legacy alive would have so much in common., Zaragoza serves a meaty, rich, homey food in a basic space — customers keep coming because it’s the best in the city.
At the Michelin-starred spot, chef Jenner Tomaska and his partner, Katrina Bravo, have said they approach their menu in much the same way that artists approach their craft. The pair collaborates with local visual artists to decorate the restaurant and inspire creations that change each quarter, like a precise cylinder of sole wrapped in zucchini, or a sliver of rye-brined cabbage.
“Val is so wild and free in terms of her baking,” Mazurek says. “Super nerdy and really into these rabbit holes of trying to perfect something. I can imagine them being buddies.” Velazquez Lindsten’s pastries are varied but always delicious — croissants swirled with mole verde sit next to “robbies,” tiny Bundt cakes topped with a fruity glaze — a sure source of inspiration for a cook like Marcus.Since opening in 1999, Jason Hammel’s cafe has remained a favorite of chefs and laypeople alike.
