Uncle Mike's Place

"A pioneering Filipino American diner with more than three decades under its belt, Uncle Mike’s has earned a place in the heart of many Chicagoans with its lugaw, a garlic-infused rice porridge that delivers homey comfort. Garnished roasted garlic and lemonn, co-founder Lucie Grajewski calls it “miracle soup” because it always seems to cure whatever might ail her." - Naomi Waxman, Ashok Selvam
