New Star

The family-owned New Star has been in business for over 60 years. They serve Chinese-American cuisine and have added Thai and Japanese fare to their menu.

Italian Village

This is one of Chicago’s oldest restaurants and it is still run by the original Capitanini family. A classic Italian menu is complemented by a professional and knowledgeable staff serving you in a warm and whimsical Italian village setting that is really three restaurants in one place: The Village, La Cantina Enoteca, and Vivere.

EL Ideas

EL Ideas makes fine dining fun. This unique dining experience is unpretentious and surprisingly creative. An unforgettable ten-course tasting menu is presented by the kitchen team in an exciting and playful way. Guests are even encouraged to leave their table and visit the kitchen to see what is happening throughout the evening. A BYOB restaurant.

Browntrout heirloom tomatoes
This Week’s Episode: Browntrout, Tuscano’s, SmallBar Division I just returned home after nearly two weeks in Japan filled with incredible meals (for which most I had only a faint idea of what I was actually eating), delicate confections, and some killer cocktails.
Art and Appetite

Art and food are two mediums that dovetail better than most any other cultural entities, so it’s apropos that they’re the co-stars of the show at The Art Institute of Chicago’s new Art and Appetite exhibit. Running now through January 27, 2014 in the Regenstein Hall, the lavish exhibition depicts vivid art pieces that span 250 years in American history, showing the trajectory of dining in various times and places.
