View all City Cast Chicago episodes

Dario Durham and Sara Faddah come from very different food traditions. Faddah is originally from Jordan, and cooks the Arab foods her grandmother made. Durham is a born and bred Chicagoan, and grew up on soul food. So when they started dating in 2019, they started exploring each other’s food cultures and building their own list of favorite dishes and restaurants as a couple. They then decided to eat at a restaurant in every community area for their podcast, 77 Flavors of Chicago. Dario and Sara have now been to all 77 community areas, and they update us on some of their favorite spots. 


77 Flavors is having a live taping tomorrow night in North Lawndale to celebrate reaching all 77 community areas.


This conversation was originally published July 15, 2021.


Some good news: The 4th annual Love and Nappyness hair care drive is almost over. This is the last week to donate natural hair care, skin care, and hygiene products at one of their six drop-off locations.
