But Chicago, with its undeniable swagger and love for bold flavors, wasn't far behind. The Windy City welcomed its first Nando's in 2015, and whispers on the peri-peri breeze suggest it wasn't the last.

But fear not, dear reader! There are still multiple Nando's scattered across Chicago, like peri-powered beacons calling us to their spicy embrace.
