Dr. Chill

Berry Chill Opens

Dear Dr. Chill,

For most people, eating frozen yogurt is a gas. But — how to put this — it gives me a different kind of gas. Can you help?

Bloaty and Grody, Chicago

Dear Bloaty,

Fear not, fart not! The answer is Berry Chill. Fat- and lactose-free and high in protein, BC is creamy, tart, and mm mm good. Flavors rotate monthly — chilled latte (caffeine!), chilled hot chocolate, strawberry-banana — and original’s always on tap.

Owner Michael Farah covered his bases: fresh fruit toppings (mango, Brazilian papaya), Milk & Honey granola, Sarah’s Candies, pie crust from Pie, cereals, and more. Plus plasma menu boards, biodegradable utensils, Smart Car delivery service, and kickass hours (open ’til 4 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays). Swipe your Culture Club Card and donate 3 percent of every purchase to the charity of your choice.

And guess what? We buttered Farah up, and today from 8 a.m.-4 a.m., DailyCandy readers eat for free.*

Smell ya later,
Dr. Chill
