- CollegeFashionistaJanuary 14, 2014Dinner and/or Dessert at Mindy's Hot Chocolate because they have great cheeseburger and creative desserts. The location is also in Wicker and close to a few bars if you want the night to keep going.

http://tmoutchi.us/YmTIHi - Serious EatsMay 2, 2013Where to begin? The desserts are stunning, but don't forget the savory side of the menu. Of course, you could also just get a cup of the restaurant's namesake dish.

- Time Out ChicagoNovember 2, 2011Don’t let the name fool you—it’s not just desserts here; the seasonal, savory menu is just as tempting. Chef Mindy Segal is a stickler for seasonality, so expect an ever-changing assortment of dishes. Read more
