Flippin Flavors

Flippin Flavors is taking a fresh and natural approach to their cuisine. According to their website, the eatery focuses on natural spices, marinades and other seasonings to elevate their dishes. The website also says their entrees and appetizers aren't "loaded with salts and preservatives."

Compared to other restaurants, their menu only provides salads, hoagies and philly sandwiches. While that may seem limited, the eatery makes up for it by stuffing their salads and sandwiches with ingredients. Flippin Flavors also supports local communities and organizations in the Chicago area.

Friistyle

This Bronzeville restaurant has eight menu items, but don't let the size fool you. Friistyle specializes in Belgian-style french fries dishes, or "pommes frites." Pommes frites is a basket of fries is topped with "decadent" ingredients. For Friistyle, that includes chicken wings, Italian beef, chicken alfredo, lobster. It's just a casual feast!

"One of the beautiful truths about Belgian-style pommes frites is that you can dress them in just about anything — a classic ketchup, truffle mayo, perhaps a white-wine broth paired with a bowl of mussels — and the result will be delicious," their website said.
