Off to a tasty start
Restaurant Week got off to a flying start with busy dining rooms (reservations for lunch and dinner were extremely limited), tantalizing menus and superb food. During Chicago's Restaurant Week, which actually lasts 10 days through Feb. 26, participating...Tags: Michigan Avenue, Dining and Drinking, Spiaggia, Sarah Grueneberg, Lifestyle and Leisure

Wood's dinner menu as solid as its name
One of the best things about Chicago's Restaurant Week is that it allows diners to experience, at low financial risk, interesting and new (at least to them) restaurants. I've been meaning to visit Wood (3335 N. Halsted St., 773-935-9663) since it opened...Tags: Caesar Salads, Dining and Drinking, Lifestyle and Leisure, Restaurants, Croutons

Summer eating list
I don't know if teachers still do this, but at the end of each school year, I was handed a summer reading list, a sheet of required and optional books that would prepare students for the coming school year. (I still owe a measure of revenge to the teacher...Tags: Seasons Restaurant, Seafood, Maude's Liquor Bar, Pies and Tarts, Lifestyle and Leisure

Taste of Chicago returns
It's safe to say that nobody knows what to expect from this year's Taste of Chicago.

Oh, the places they didn't go
When Charlie Trotter announced, just past the stroke of midnight on New Year's Day, that he would be closing his eponymous Chicago restaurant at the end of August, quite a few people vowed to get to Charlie Trotter's, one last time or even for the very...Tags: Brooklyn (New York City), Miami (Miami-Dade, Florida), Dining and Drinking, Alinea, Miami Beach

Star potential shines at Aria
I've been meaning to review Beverly Kim's food ever since September's Chicago Gourmet. I was mightily impressed with her contribution to the food festival: a seafood panna cotta topped with mango gelee and a pair of chilled mussels.
Kim further boosted...Tags: Coconut, Chicago Gourmet, Seafood, Dining and Drinking, Petroleum Industry

Dale Levitski's Frog N Snail
Dale Levitski's career arc is like that of most top chefs. In reverse.

Dishing on dining
Q: You have a pretty big audience of friends. I bet they have the some of the same questions for you that I have. When you eat out, do you go with a group of people? Do you order extra dishes just so you can taste them? Do you take notes while you are...

Let's break out the old crystal ball
Time once again for my annual exercise in humiliation, as I try to predict the star recipients in the 2013 Michelin Chicago Guide, which hits bookstores Wednesday. This is the third year that Michelin has published a Chicago guide, and if there's one...
