Here's your sign to head to @NavyPier to grab food at Reunion by Chef Art! #NeverOutdoneChi

[Candace Jordan @CandidCandace]

Nobody does it like our @ChefArtSmith ! He had us at fried chicken, but having Oprah, Stedman and the Harpo gang in the house? Now that’s a reunion! Last night, Chef Art hosted his old Harpo family at his Reunion Restaurant, and it was one delicious, Southern-style trip down memory lane. Kudos Art- any leftover chicken?

Chicago has been named the safest city for LGBTQ+ tourists two years in a row, and it will remain that way under my administration. I was proud to celebrate Chicago’s amazing LGBTQ+ community and support LGBTQ+-owned small businesses at @Northalsted @MarketDaysCHI, because @Chicago continues to be a safe, welcoming place for Queer people and self-expression.
