Rendang Republic claims a title that's hard to argue with: per The Infatuation, it's Chicago's only known Indonesian restaurant, and it's using that rare footing to do something genuinely clever a few blocks from Wrigley Field.

Daging Sapi Rendang Plate and the 'Duck Inn-do Dog' — Chicago-format mashups of Padang rendang, from the city's only Indonesian restaurant

Founder Rizal Hamdallah, who grew up with Padang roots in Indonesia, noticed Chicago had no Padang restaurant and partnered with chef John Avila (also behind Minahasa) to fix that — but instead of a straightforward traditional menu, they've mashed up rendang's slow-braised, coconut-and-spice intensity with classic Chicago handheld formats. The Daging Sapi Rendang Plate is the standout, but the real personality shows in things like the 'Duck Inn-do Dog' (a chicken-sausage Chicago dog finished with sambal aioli) and a Beef Rendang Sandwich built on a bed of giardiniera.

It's packed on Cubs home-game days and quieter the rest of the week — a genuinely novel idea for a pregame meal.
