A record 25 restaurants were given starred ratings, up from 19 in 2013.

While Grant Achatz' Alinea remains the only three-starred Chicago restaurant, there were two newcomers to the two-star category.

Sixteen, the dining room at the Trump International Hotel, improved its menu to earn a second star this year.

The contemporary menu and impeccable service at Grace earned the new restaurant a two-star rating this year, its first in operation. Grace is the first restaurant from Randolph Street - a traditionally popular spot for foodies - to win official recognition from Michelin.
