Where to Eat in Chicago During the James Beard Awards

From James Beard Award winners Genie Kwon and Timothy Flores, Kasama brings the city’s first Filipino tasting menu to the Ukrainian Village. And since it opened, it’s been a hotspot for industry folks, out-of-towners, locals, and everyone in between. The multi-course meal rotates often, but expect each dish to give you a delicious, elegant take on Filipino cuisine, from the crispiest lumpia to a truffle-laden croissant. If you’re short on time, don’t fret. You can always stop into Kasama’s grab-and-go cafe. Here, every day starts better with a longanisa, hashbrown, egg, and cheese sandwich. Pro tip: On weekends, you must get the pork belly adobo.
