What to Eat at Yak-Zies on Diversey, Opening Saturday

After a two-year closure after the death of owner Ken Miller, the original location of Yak-Zies at 506 Diversey in East Lakeview is reopening this Saturday — and celebrating their reopening throughout next week, with theme nights welcoming patrons who first visited in the 60’s and 70’s (Monday), 80’s and 90’s (Tuesday), and the young’un 00’s (Wednesday). Carrying the same menu as its Wrigleyville (and, er, Florida) counterparts, it’ll pick up right where it left off: a reliable destination for tap beers and serious hot wings, plus their proprietary parsley-crust “peeza” — a thin-crust version that holds up to alcohol-friendly toppings like the “Tang,” a hot-sauce-and-blue-cheese concoction that’s essentially a buffalo wing in slice form. Read on for the complete menu, and start getting ready for Saturday.
