Dining
Well-done fish & all that jazz
There are places in Chicago where you go for great food, and places you go for great music. Still, we wondered: Are there places that suit both needs, without changing seats? We sent music critic Howard Reich and restaurant critic Phil Vettel out together to three places. We had Howard rate the music and Phil rate the food, and, just for fun, we let them switch hats and write about the others' specialty. Here are their professional and amateur reviews of three places. First up: Andy's.
