Nice list, John’s Food & Wine is not a John Shields restaurant though, I’m fairly sure.

Thanks for the great list, Andrew. When I moved from Chicago to the Twin Cities 30 years ago, great restaurants were what I missed. Fortunately, the Twin Cities have improved quite a bit over that time!

Great list!

My favorite is Alinea. Achatz’s personal story is quite amazing in itself!

I’m from Wisconsin. We have great football.

But Chicago’s got it on the food.

Just sayin’

My old stomping grounds! I loved taking friends and family on a culinary trip around Chicago when they’d visit.
