Crawford's Food & Spirits

Crawford's Food & Spirits Chicago Logo

Craft brews on tap, cocktails & American plates are the draw at this casual, locally owned hangout. In 1913, what was known as 40th Ave was renamed for Peter Crawford, an early area landowner. Later on, the street was renamed Pulaski Ave, which still remains today. Having grown up in the area, we chose the name Crawford's to connect with the Avondale neighborhood.

Honey Butter Fried Chicken (Elston) Chicago Logo

Quick-serve outfit furnishes fried poultry, craft beer & cocktails in rustic digs with a patio. A friendly neighborhood fried chicken joint serving locally-sourced seasonal sides, desserts, beer, wine and small batch cocktails. Hospitality's included. Honey Butter Fried Chicken is the crispy, juicy, flavorful fried chicken created, perfected and enjoyed by the chefs and patrons of Sunday Dinner Club – and always served with a ‘dollop of the namesake honey butter. We start with local fresh, hormone-free, antibiotic-free, and cage-free, locally-sourced chicken and brine it in a mixture of salt, sugar, spices and citrus. It is double battered in buttermilk and seasoned flour, expertly fried and sprinkled with smoked paprika salt for a final kick of flavor. Dip that chicken in salty, sweet honey butter for the ultimate fried chicken experience.
