Chicken skin bao from Sujeo.
Soft on the outside, crunchy on the inside
Sujeo, 10 N. Livingston St.
The pan-Asian spot has been tweaking its menu to good effect; recent additions include chicken skin bao, with cucumbers, Kewpie mayo and sweet chili sauce. The cheesy ddeokbokki (rice cakes) with bandaged cheddar and Pleasant Ridge Reserve — and kimchi and hot, hot sauce — make a good argument for further Wisco-Korea collaborations.
A little bit of the U.P.
Forequarter, 708 1/4 E. Johnson St.
Though the much revered smoked whitefish sandwich isn’t currently on the menu at Underground Butcher, you can find a similar satisfaction at its sister restaurant with the smoked whitefish salad.
Not just for New Haven anymore
Gates & Brovi, 3502 Monroe St.
Midwesterners, take note of the satisfaction found by topping a pizza with clams — here, with the added allure of roasted fennel, summery basil and plenty of cream and cheese.
