"Before we go on a five-mile run or 20-mile bike ride along the Lakefront trail during the summer, we’re probably not fueling up on sausages and spaetzle. But when our weekend plans involve a lot of Netflix and falling asleep on the couch, those things are perfect. Funkenhausen, a German-inspired restaurant in West Town, has exactly the kind of delicious (and heavy) food we’re talking about. Get dishes like the French onion spaetzle or a huge platter of cider-glazed pork shoulder with roasted apples, and then go take a nap." - adrian kane
