Eater Chicago took on the monumental challenge of listing the city's best spots for doughnuts (or any fried dough!), including the beignets at Hyde Park's Roux Diner:
"This Hyde Park all-day breakfast spot serves some of the best beignets in town. They’re served warm so they have crisp exteriors and soft pillowy insides that melt in the mouth. But even after they’ve had a chance to cool, they’re still excellent."
Visit Roux at 1055 E. 55th Street.

Earth Day is Monday, April 22, and the Chicago Tribune spoke to local chefs about how they upcycle ingredients:
"At Virtue, chef Damarr Brown credits his 'nothing goes in the garbage' attitude to the older chefs he’s been fortunate to work with, including the Hyde Park restaurant’s owner, Erick Williams.
'We are always trying to think of creative ways to use things that other people might perceive as scraps and how we can repurpose those into something that’s good,' said Brown.
When the restaurant had leftover duck breast from a party, it was cured and turned into prosciutto. When it came out too salty, Brown put it into a dehydrator upping its saltiness. The end result? A finishing duck salt that is micro-planned onto foie gras toast.
'We took a training moment, turned it into an a-ha moment and now it’s something we are looking at making on purpose,' he said."

This Saturday (April 20) is Record Store Day, and TimeOut highlights the city's best record stores, including Hyde Park Records:
"The latest iteration of a neighborhood record store that has been selling vinyl since the ’70s, Hyde Park Records keeps turntables spinning on Chicago's South Side. While new releases are stocked each week, local crate diggers know that the store's selections of R&B, soul, blues and hip-hop records (marked by signs made from old issues of Jet magazine) are usually filled with treasures. The shop is a favorite of local musicians and traveling DJs, so keep an eye out for familiar faces (and the occasional in-store DJ set) as you flip through titles."
Check out Hyde Park Records at 1377 E. 53rd Street.
