A few of the dinner appetizers at Blackbird hover near the $15 mark, so the fact that the West Loop New American is offering a full three-course lunch for the same price is worth some crowing. Choices include a short rib burger, a seared whitefish sandwich and a dessert from pastry chef Tim Dahl – including a sack of doughnuts to take back to the office (Monday–Friday, 11:30 AM–2 PM; $15 per person; 312-715-0708; reserve online).
