Hello Michelin Guide 2014 Edition,
No big surprise with Alinea 3 stars… but alas the only one of its kind. There are now a total of 25 starred restaurants in Chicago. Yeah! I have not made it to all of them yet. I sure hope to do so.
For more affordable places yet with great taste, the bib selection is a great alternative. Worth noting, that Michelin inspectors found great tastes beyond the city bordors and into suburbs like Evanston, Skokie, Oak Park, Lagrange and more. http://www.michelintravel.com/michelin-selection/michelin-guide-chicago-2014-2/
