Soufflé Blows, Chicago Joe’s, & Fingernail Woes

This week on Eat. Talk. Repeat., we dig into new restaurant openings, rising pizza stars, and the sad state of faux dive bars. John reacts (loudly) to Eater’s Arts District picks, questions Chicago Joe’s rep, and relives a letdown at The Bootlegger. From seating quirks to beans-in-chili debates, we unpack the social side of dining and spotlight where real quality still thrives—hint: it’s not always where the price tag says it should be. Also… fried pizza? Yes, really.
