Some of the offerings includes miso udon or soba soup, robota grill skewers ( such as coconut shrimp ), sushi and nigiri, various versions of maki, noodle dishes and entrees such as the very delicious Indie Ocean ( a crispy fillet fish in mussaman curry, potato, asparagus, squash and cashew nuts ).
Jake Melnick's Corner Tap's PB&J wings: The River North spot is known for its various wing dishes, including XXX ( a sweat-inducing mix of habanero, ghost-pepper and scorpion items ). But do not ignore the PB&J wings; think of chicken satay with Thai peanut saucebut fried and with raspberry-chipotle jelly. It's an absolutely scrumptious concoction.

This documentary ( premiering on The Smithsonian Channel on April 23 ) recaptures the chaotic days following the verdict with emotion-inducing photos, media coverage and even dispatch calls.
