Michelin Awards Stars To 25 Chicago Restaurants
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.
Of the 20 one-star establishments, five were new to the list: El Idea, Elizabeth, The Lobby, North Pond, and Senza.
