    Finally made it to @deckerssourdoughbagels pop-up at @wildfirerest in River North and it definitely lives up to the hype! I ordered the classic bacon and egg bagel sandwich and it honestly was one of the best bagels I’ve had in a while 🥯 Make sure to go early or preorder because they will sell out. Follow @deckerssourdoughbagels so you don’t miss the next one! #312food #chicagoeats #bagelsandwich #popupbagels #foodiegoals

    I was so excited to see all the gluten free options offered by Wildfire. The ribs and au gratin potatoes were amazing. Our wonderful waiter Bif even brought me some gluten free bread. 10/10 would recommend.

    The food was delicious and the service by Gregory was top notch. His recommendations were on point and did not disappoint. If you like mushrooms you have to try the mushrooms caps they were finger licking good. And the horseradish crust amazing!!!
