Chicago's knish game has never been as strong as New York's, but that might change this week.

The verdict: Soul & Smoke chef D'Andre Carter has elevated this nosh to a delectable meal, balancing the luscious mac and cheese and the sweet, smoky brisket with earthy collard greens.

The context: The creation is part of Manny's 2023 knish series, launched to develop unique combos "that cross cultural and culinary boundaries for all to enjoy." Future partners include:
