From our winter issue cover story on the best dish From our winter issue cover story on the best dishes for those cold winter nights: The bourbon-glazed pork chop at @tavernpointchi 

The short rib grilled cheese, fried chicken dinner and seared scallops regularly demand our attention at this Edison Park favorite, but there’s just something about a hearty pork chop that speaks to us in the wintertime. This is a 14-ounce bone-in pork chop that’s charbroiled and topped with a Jack Daniel’s glaze and served on a bed of creamy mashed potatoes.

Insider’s tip: Plenty of drink specials and half-price appetizers make for a rock solid weekday happy hour here from 3-6 p.m.

From our Winter Warmers cover story in the current From our Winter Warmers cover story in the current winter issue: Sloppy joes and mac & cheese at @howardstreetinn (6700 W. Howard Street in Niles)

The Howard Street Inn is always home to a diverse crowd of groups, families and sports fans of all ages. A gigantic menu too. And did we mention it has arguably the best happy hour and daily specials in the area?

One of those specials we love so much happens on Thursdays, when you can get two sloppy joes and a bowl of creamy mac and cheese for just $8.75. If that doesn’t take you back to some fond childhood memories, nothing will. Another hard-to-believe Thursday special: $3 flavored martinis

From our Winter Warmers cover story in the current From our Winter Warmers cover story in the current winter issue: The aash-e-reshteh soup at @shemroonkababhouse (430 W. Touhy in Park Ridge)

It may not be easy to pronounce, but you also won’t be able to put your spoon down when it arrives at your table. This Persian favorite consists of a mix of fresh chopped herbs, kidney beans, lentils, chickpeas, onions, garlic and noodles with slow-cooked creamed whey drizzled on top with little mound of caramelized onions. Hearty enough to stand on its own, but also a perfect start to a meal if you’re sharing plates with a group.

“It’s on our regular menu year round, but it tends to really get popular in the cold weather,” says owner Mehdi Hajiaghazadeh. “It’s a wonderful blend of flavors and has so many good ingredients that it’s even been known to make you feel better when you’re under the weather.”

Insider’s tip: You can get this very soup (or chicken noodle or lentil) for free with the purchase of an entree during their early dinner hour (4-5 p.m.) special.
