Café Cebu
The sibling team of Marlon, Cybill, and Malvin Tan (Wicker Park’s Cebu) have opened a Filipino bakery on the city’s Northwest Side. Discover gourmet Asian and Chinese pastries, baked goods, and homemade ice cream. Try the halo halo: condensed and evaporated milk, red beans, ube jam, kaong, nata de coco, crisped rice, jackfruit, and ice cream. 790 Royal St. George Dr., Naperville
Nuka Barbeque
Pitmaster Ted Fabry is now serving his signature wings, brisket sandwiches, and barbecue tacos ($2 on Tuesdays) out of a kitchen tucked within Suburbanite Bowl. Ask about the daily $10 special when you order carryout, and check out the smoker out back when you pick it up. 201 W. Ogden Ave., Westmont
Rebel Kitchen + Bar
Three childhood friends took over two former restaurant spaces (Praga and Bonton) and the results are in: short rib poutine with white cheddar curds, frozen apple cider margaritas, and maple bourbon–glazed salmon are new favorites. 229 W. St. Charles Rd., Lombard
