RODELIO AGLIBOT

WHO: Chef/partner, Firefin Poké Shop ( firefinpoke.com), E+O Food and Drink (eofoodanddrink.com), Now Open Project (nowopenproject.com). HOME ’HOOD: The Loop. “I love that there is so much energy during the day—it reminds me of NYC. At night, it becomes a ghost town and gives me some peace and quiet when I get home.” GO-TO SPOT: “I travel a lot, and when I come back I crave Monti’s (4757 N. Talman Ave., 773-9426012; ilovemontis.com) for cheesesteaks. I also love Chi Café (2160 S. Archer Ave., 312-842-9993; chicafeonline.com) in Chinatown, a Hong Kong-style diner that serves the comfort food I grew up with.” HIDDEN GEM: “Prosecco (710 N. Wells St., 312-951-9500; prosecco.us.com) in River North is one of the most authentic Italian restaurants in Chicago.” DE-STRESS METHOD: “I go for walks. It lets me take moments for myself and take the time to appreciate the things that I’m gifted with.” FALL FASHION ESSENTIAL: “Scarves—the more color, the better. I have 20 to 25 from all around the world in different materials.”
