Chicago’s Italian beef story has always started at the window.

Now, Buona is getting back to those roots with the opening of thebeefstand in Wicker Park — a new walk-up Italian beef window at 1750 W. Division St., right next to John Fox.

Inspired by the neighborhood beef stands that helped make the sandwich a Chicago icon, THE BEEF STAND brings Buona’s Original Italian Beef to Division Street in its most classic form: walk up, order a beef and enjoy.

The focused menu centers on regular and large Italian beef sandwiches with mozzarella, giardiniera and a few modern twists, including Italian Beef protein bowls and vegan beef sandwiches. Guests can also grab classic shakes from Rainbow Cone, because obviously.

Old-school format. Family history. Big Wicker Park energy.

THE BEEF STAND is now open.
📍 1750 W. Division St.
⏰ Sunday–Wednesday: 11AM–10PM
⏰ Thursday–Saturday: 11AM–11PM

Tune in as Partner tony mantuano gives the ultimate tour of the restaurant, bar and marketplace, while Culinary Director brian motyka dishes up a delicious favorite.

A heartfelt “grazie” to the CBS production team and crew for a such fun morning and the chance to share the love. We can’t think of better way to “Jump Start” the day!

One year of SHŌ — and what a year it has been. ✨

Today, we raise a glass to Adam Sindler, Chef Mari Katsumura and the entire SHŌ team on the restaurant’s first anniversary in Old Town.

For a tiny restaurant, SHŌ carries an enormous amount of creativity, discipline and heart. Every night, the team brings a level of precision, storytelling and energy to the counter that makes the experience feel deeply personal and completely transportive.

And now, to mark the milestone, SHŌ is entering its next chapter with the launch of two new tasting experiences: Shōjin, an entirely plant-based omakase inspired by the ancient foodways of Japanese Buddhist monks, and Summer Menu Vol. 4, the latest evolution of Mari’s seasonal tasting menu.

One explores the depth and nuance of vegetables, grains, tofu and mountain ingredients through restraint and technique. The other celebrates late summer through pristine seafood, local produce and French influences woven through the Japanese culinary lens.

Two menus. One extraordinary point of view.

Congratulations to Adam, Mari and the entire SHŌ team on one year of creativity, care and beautifully executed hospitality.

Reservations are open at sho-chicago.com and via OpenTable.

This is only the beginning.

Your next guest may discover you before they ever search for you.

That is the real opportunity on TikTok, and it is why the platform cannot be treated simply as a second home for repurposed Instagram Reels. Instagram often helps consumers validate a hotel or restaurant already under consideration…but TikTok is increasingly where the idea begins.

A chef sharing why a signature dish never leaves the menu, a bartender tracing the story behind an unexpected bottle or a hotel team revealing the choreography behind a VIP arrival can do more than showcase an experience. It can make someone want to become part of it.

That kind of discovery requires more than repurposing. TikTok needs its own strategy, content calendar and creative language, along with a point of view strong enough to participate in trends without becoming indistinguishable from everyone else.

Our newest Serving Well post explores what hospitality brands still misunderstand about TikTok, why personality matters as much as polish and what it takes to build a presence designed for discovery.
