You put the thing between the roof of your mouth and tongue and just squeeze. And they explode into salty olive heaven, no need to chew. So good, we ordered seconds. Also had some oysters and pig ears that I would recommend. This is a Chef José Andrés place and wow. Not only is he providing food relief around the world with his World Central Kitchen, he’s still making goodness in the U.S. of A. Pigtail in Chicago. I would recommend. Jaleo as well.

The bartenders are exceptional, capable of crafting both classic cocktails and an array of their exciting signature drinks. We arrived on a Friday at 5 PM and were able to grab seats at the bar without needing a reservation. Our bartender provided excellent recommendations for some really distinctive drinks, and we also decided to try the Pig Ears, which was a first for us. Embrace the quirky drinks on their menu—you won't be let down! I ordered the consomme cocktail; while I’m not sure I’d choose it again, I’m glad I gave it a try.

The reverse Irish cara jillo is my absolute favorite, it’s cozy and warm but also frozen. The inverted dirty martini is so subtle and smooth. Both are must try for sure.
