I've enjoyed a mix of fine dining and little-known eats.
  • After dining at over 100 restaurants in Chicago, I've narrowed it down to my 11 favorites.
  • My top picks are a mix of Italian, Mexican, Indian, Greek, and other cuisines.
  • Two are Michelin-starred restaurants, but I'm also a big fan of two hole-in-the-wall eateries.

I don't cook, but I love eating out — so much so that I've tried over 100 restaurants in Chicago.
