From Soul Food to Storytellers: The Best of the South Side

City Cast Chicago

Everyone’s got a “best of” list in Chicago — Best Hot Dog, Best Happy Hour, Best Free Activities. But these lists often neglect South Side neighborhoods. That’s why South Side Weekly puts out its “Best of the South Side” issue each year, highlighting the best food, activities, and people in the area. Editor Chima Ikoro shares some of her favorite picks from this year’s issue with host Jacoby Cochran. Jacoby, born and raised on the South Side himself, also shares some of his personal bests.

Guest: Chima Ikoro — Community Organizing Editor, South Side Weekly
