Our take: Bucktown’s rice whisperers: Sweet Rice coaxes maximum flavor from humble grains. Bring a bottle of off-dry white and let the jasmine aroma transport you.

Wine Pairing: For rice-focused dishes, bring a crisp Gruner Veltliner or a light Pinot Grigio. A dry Prosecco also pairs nicely with many dishes.

Beer Pairing: Kloster Weisse, a German wheat beer, complements rice dishes well. For a local option, try Metropolitan's Krankshaft Kölsch.

Spirits Pairing: Bring a bottle of Phraya Deep Matured Gold Rum from Thailand. For a non-rum option, try Mekhong, Thailand's spirit.
