I've had one of the most stressful weeks of my life due to work and health related circumstances (thankfully things are getting sorted with the work thing) and to make myself feel a bit better I got my favorite sandwich in Chicago.

The patty is a fried maitake mushroom. Make no mistake. This is not a sad watery portobello mushroom burger. This is a deliciously crispy patty that is satisfyingly spicy to my taste.

    How dare you do this to me, Nashville hot chicken is one of the things I miss most, I gotta find a recipe to replace it 😭

    Also sorry to hear things aren’t exactly how you wish. Best of luck☮️

    Handlebar introduced me to my fav fall meal many years ago, West African Peanut Stew, highly recommend googling a recipe and trying it out, they used kale for the greens in theirs iirc.

    The chimichanga they sometimes have is also fire! I liked this sammy too, but feel like it’s a lot of breading, generally my issue with vegan chicken fried sandwiches made with mushrooms.
