El Ideas – Chicago

Chicago Restaurant Facade Illustration by Jen Scribbles NY

A little rebellious. A little hidden. Very Chicago.

This illustration captures the unassuming brick exterior of El Ideas — the kind of place you’d walk right past if you didn’t know better. No sign. No fuss. Just a door that leads to one of the most intimate and inventive dining experiences in the city.

Drawn in my signature bold-line and watercolor style, this piece celebrates the magic of discovery — the restaurants that feel like a secret shared between chefs and guests. Industrial meets warmth. Concrete softened by candlelight. A meal that feels like performance art.

For the diners who:

• Love a tasting menu moment

• Believe food is theater

• Have celebrated something special around a communal table

• Appreciate Chicago’s creative spirit
