Minyoli was imagined as a traditional Taiwanese noodle shop in Chicago, but has become a creative cultural exploration, where popcorn fried chicken meets street food waffles. Chef and owner Rich Wang opened his debut restaurant in Andersonville last May. Born in Taipei and raised in a juancun, or military dependentsâ village, Wang immigrated to Chicago at age 16 with his family in 2000. He became an attorney, but resigned at age 29 to change his lifeâs work. Wang attended culinary school at Kendall College, and trained in Lanzhou, the city in China famous for its hand-pulled noodle schools. He worked at Boka and Fat Rice in Chicago, and spent three years in Macao at the Michelin two-starred Wing Lei Palace under chef Tam Kwok Fung. Itâs no wonder that Minyoli is more than a noodle shop, with Wang more than a first-time chef.

Trumpâs latest executive order could bring back the ban on transgender people serving in the military, a move many see as a direct attack on LGBTQ+ rights. â â For a community thatâs fought so hard for inclusion and equality, this reversal feels personal. â â Whatâs next for trans troops and the fight for fairness?â â ?ď¸ Save and share this post.â ?

![When Coldplay announced their India Tour, we knew we were signing up for stellar music, magic, and a lot of wholesomeness. We expected Chrisâ warmth when he performed âYellowâ and âFix Youâ. However, what we were not prepared for was all that we were about to get, beyond his beats and lyrics. It doesnât matter if you aren't a fan of Coldplay or werenât at their concerts. When Chris paid tribute to Jasprit Bumrah or Shah Rukh Khan, or when he sang âVande Mataramâ, your heart would have certainly skipped a beat.

The Jean Banchet Awards for Culinary Excellence were announced Sunday, crowning Chicagoâs top restaurants and chefs in coveted categories and bringing over 400 industry insiders together at Venue SIX10. The award categories have evolved over the years into something that represents the cityâs diverse and vibrant culinary scene, Banchet host Michael Muser said, and this yearâs Best New Restaurant, CariĂąo, showcases all that and more. In just 12 months, the modernist Latin-inspired tasting menu and taco omakase restaurant in Uptown has snagged a Michelin star, a James Beard semifinalist nomination and a Jean Banchet award for Best New Restaurant. Norman Fenton, chef and co-owner of CariĂąo, said itâs all a bit surreal: âI could never have imagined this.â The winners are chosen by an anonymous panel of over 10 people who are food journalists, professionals in the food and beverage space, and âhardcore local foodies.â Tap on our bio link to see the full list. ââ Photo 1: Chef of the Year winner Otto Phan of @kyotenchicago seen on Aug. 24, 2023.

They have produced some of the best actors in the country including Vijay Varma and Jaideep Ahlawat.
