Celebrate Memorial Day Weekend with us! Chicken every which way and summery cocktails!
Kristine Subido helmed the stoves at the Chicago W Lakeshore’s WAVE restaurant for a decade before flying the coop to open Pecking Order.
Through her work at WAVE, Kristine developed a reputation for big, punchy flavor and playful restaurant programming such as the innovative Remedy Brunch and “The Streets at WAVE,” an indoor street cart that boasted a monthly rotation of global street foods.
Kristine opened Pecking Order as an homage to the generations of women and men in her family who passed down their passion for cooking to her. The signature chicken marinade at Pecking Order is a family recipe that she grew up eating and craves endlessly. When the time was right to put her signature chicken in the spotlight, she opened the doors of Pecking Order with her mother, Melinda – making it a family affair all the way.
The most amazing flavors often come in the most humble presentations and crispy, juicy, salty, flavorful chicken tops the list. That’s what Pecking Order is all about.
Crazy. Good. Chicken. Every which way.
Pecking Order birds come from the farms of FreeBird Antibiotic Free Chicken™. This means that our birds don’t do drugs. Not hormones. Not antibiotics. Not ever.
At Pecking Order, Chef Kristine Subido showcases her own culinary homecoming every day. Informed by a Filipino background and a special recipe for a sugar-tamari-vinegar marinade that has been passed down to her from generations’ past, bring to bear a vibrant, bold, and sassy chick. (Whether we’re alluding to the chicken or the chef herself is for you to decide.)
This Uptown casual service restaurant is family-friendly, (bring your baby chicks!) and a daily homage to chicken coop chic. Guests sit at picnic tables while they tuck into dishes of fried, roasted or grilled chicken and sides such as Grilled Sweet Corn or Rice & Lola’s Gravy. Wash it all down with our signature house-made punch (alcohol and non-alcohol versions available,) or treat themselves to the refreshing and seasonal Filipino shaved-ice dessert: Halo Halo.
