Soup dumplings, or xiao long bao (which literally means “little steamer-basket buns” in Mandarin Chinese),
originated hundreds of years ago in Nan Xiang, a canal town near Shanghai. Today, soup dumplings are a global icon of Southern Chinese comfort food. For New Yorkers, the introduction to the best soup dumplings in the state began in 2006 with a family recipe and a small shop in Flushing. Nearly twenty years later, Nan Xiang is synonymous with authentic Southern Chinese cuisine. Recognized as having “the best soup dumplings in town” and with a perennial feature in the Michelin Guide, Nan Xiang pride themselves on being a haven for those who value the warmth of home-cooked meals, family dinners, and community.

Lou Malnati’s Pizzeria
Driven from the ambitious owner Luciano Malnati and his wife Jean back in the 1970’s, Lou Malnati’s Pizzeria has become one of Chicago’s most important and enduring institutions—a symbol of the city’s culture, resilience, and unmistakable Chicago-style pizza. After the success of the first restaurant in Lincolnwood, IL, Lou decided to expand his business to reach out to others that weren’t just local. Years later after Lou’s passing, his wife and sons continued the business, building a commitment to family, hospitality, and exceptional Deep Dish pizza, transforming Lou’s vision into a lasting legacy. Malnati’s success comes from a steadfast commitment to quality. Each pizza is handmade from scratch with the finest ingredients—California vine-ripened tomatoes, our exclusive seasoned sausage, and mozzarella from the same small dairy we’ve partnered with for over 40 years. The family’s secret flaky, buttery crust recipe has been passed down for generations, ensuring every bite is made with care. The key ingredient to Lou Malnati’s is their dedicated staff and loyal customers. Chicago Tribune has recognized Lou Malnati’s as a top workplace for 16 years in a row and over 15% of Lou Malnati’s employees have been with the company for ten years or more.
