The secret is out: As Saveur Magazine reports, “the Windy City is America’s new culinary star.” And with good reason. Chicago’s ever-evolving culinary scene reaches tantalizing new heights every day!
In fact, Chicago is such a food lovers’ paradise that diners face just one dilemma: How to choose from so many delicious options?
One way to narrow your dining choices is by type of food. Eager for an ethnic meal? Along with the many restaurants serving outstanding Italian, Latin, and Asian foods, countless others offer excellent French, Greek, Indian, Mediterranean, Polish, German, or Ethiopian menus. Want seafood or soul food or barbecue? Find it downtown or in the city’s 77 neighborhoods.
Chicago’s contemporary dining scene is stunning. While the world takes notice, innovative chefs - many emphasizing foods from America’s Heartland – are fusing flavor and excitement in delectable ways.
Chicagoans are famous for taking two classics very seriously: pizza and hot dogs. Sample these two favorites during your visit so you can officially join in the debate.
Or let restaurant atmosphere help you decide where to eat. Match your mood to one of the city’s elegant dining spots, charming cafes, intimate bistros, convivial eateries, pizza palaces, or another of the endless alternatives.
Location will never limit your food choices. Great options for satisfying your hunger are always nearby.
