By day: a lawyer defending big-name corporations. By night: a young-at-heart basketball fan and foodie. Raised in the suburbs during the Jordan era, Esbrook is passionate about the Bulls and plays hoops often at the East Bank Club. He has traveled the world, but his favorite city is still Chicago: “The more cities I go to, the more I appreciate it,” he says.

In the market for: A curious and artsy fellow food lover with an acerbic wit. “I have a logical job, and that’s what a lot of my friends do, so I like people in the arts or fashion,” he says.

Conversation starter: His recipe for an “unbelievable” spicy linguine with shrimp.
