In April 2025, Eater Chicago editor Ashok Selvam highlights notable dishes from the city's evolving dining scene, focusing on the Duck Inn-Do Hot Dog and rendang sandwich at Rendang Republic. The Indonesian eatery has quickly become a favorite in Wrigleyville, known for its unique take on Chicago's iconic hot dog. The Duck Inn-Do combines traditional ingredients with Indonesian flair, while the rendang showcases carefully revived recipes with rich flavors, solidifying Avila's dedication to both Chicago's and Indonesia's culinary heritage.
The Duck Inn-Do Hot Dog is a brilliant reimagining of Chicago's classic, showcasing a blend of Indonesian flavors and impeccable execution that challenges tradition.
Avila's rendang, meticulously crafted with a mix of spices and slow-simmered in coconut milk, represents a genuine love for Indonesian cuisine while appealing to Chicago's flavors.
