We're a Baja-inspired restaurant but we love us some Puebla! https://t.co/n3AekoFOEu

@dropkickjeffy All good! Three years later we’re even giddier, even dorkier, about our food.

[Leña Chicago @LenaChicago]

I don’t know about cool. @dropkickjeffy in @ChicagoMag once called us a bunch of “giddy food dorks.” 🤷🏽‍♂️

Glad you liked the Striped Bass. It’s 🔥 🔥 🔥

[Dan Shuftan @DanShuftan]

I am far from hip or a foodie, but striped bass at @LenaChicago was pretty good.

Uni, pan de campos, ramps from Lena Brava. This is Bayless restaurant I have the least experience with, and obviously now I must apologize for the delay. This was incredible. https://t.co/29AYqUVIYk
