—Yolk Test Kitchen (www.eatyolk.com/): There are several branches of the breakfast spot Yolk that dot Chicago, but Yolk Test Kitchen, 1767 N. Milwaukee Ave., breaks the mold with a coffee bar (complete with a beverage director) and several innovative dishes, such as a rich, eggy mac-and-cheese concoction.
—Spirit of Revolt beer (revbrew.com/beer/specialty/spirit-of-revolt): After debuting an empowered Imperial IPA in 2018, Revolution Brewing is bringing back Spirit of Revolt—created by the female employees of Revolution. The beer is named in reference to a Margaret Sanger essay [“Because I believe that deep down in woman’s nature lies slumbering the spirit of revolt,” from “The Woman Rebel”] and features specialty malts from female-led Weyermann Malting. Celebrate International Women’s Day (March 8) with a drink of this.
