Get the Habanero Hot Lizard Legs, winner of Wingout Chicago, and Cerveza-Rita (you get to keep the glass; they actually give you a clean one)

PESCE DENTICE ROSSO ALLA GRIGLIA (Red snapper, trapanese sauce, fried potato confit, lemon capers sauce)
$7 Micheladas and they're huge! Some of the best wings in Chicago; well, they have won at Wingfest every year since 2012, so they must be doing something right
