Chicago Restaurants and Dining Guide
Joke all you want about bratwurst and deep-dish pizza, but Chicago is a genuine culinary hot spot. The city's top chefs consistently win national cooking awards and show up regularly on the Food Network, while we locals have had a hard time keeping up with all the new restaurant openings.

Funky fusion concepts include the Japan-meets-South America theme at SushiSamba Rio to the Indian/Latin American combos at Vermilion. You'll find upscale versions of ethnic cuisine at places such as Chilpancingo or Frontera Grill (Mexican), Arun's (Thai), and Spiaggia (which might be the country's most elegant Italian restaurant).
