The Five Spot: Shrimp Tacos, A Pizza Apart, Pho, Dumplings, and Cheesesteaks
Your daily quarantine food and delivery recs:
Chinatown
Qing Xiang Yuan Dumplings – Nothing says comfort in a bundle like dumplings! I like the pan-fried beef and onion, but they’re all tasty.

Lincoln Square
Monti’s – Yeah, I know I should be loyal and pimp Italian beef, but quarantine demands a Philly cheesesteak.
Loop, West Loop
Robert’s Pizza and Dough Co. – Like Coalfire, which I wrote about yesterday, Robert’s pizza is a pizza apart. Go with the Duck dynasty-inspired pie, aka The Real Camo: Wild mushrooms, duck prosciutto, chopped dates, whipped goat cheese, smoked mozz & calabrian pepper.

Tank Noodle – Surprise, it snowed in Chicago yesterday for a cold minute. Take advantage of the last days for Vietnamese pho and treat yourself to some beefy noodle soup goodness.
