THREE MONTHS HAVE PASSED since our year-end look at what was new on the Chicago restaurant scene. Now it’s almost spring (even though slush was falling from the sky as we recorded this last week) and patio furniture will be coming out soon. So to ask the questions of what’s going on our food scene now, including hot openings like Duck Duck Goat and Moneygun, we gathered at The Victor Bar, 4011 N. Damen, for a fast-paced, funny and insightful 47-minute conversation.
This time, we were Fooditor editor Michael Gebert, plus Joe Campagna, Fooditor contributor and blogger at Chicago Food Snob; Sarah Freeman, writer for Eater Chicago; and man-about-town Royal Lichter.
