Chicago Restaurants...

Amanda K: I haven't been to Chicago for a while, so I can't comment firsthand, but I am hoping to get back soon to try at least one of two restaurants that have gotten some really great press... Alinea and Moto. The cuisine at both is "contemporary" or "new American." They're both described as avant-garde and hyper-modern. Both have gotten rave reviews from food critics and other top chefs. They're on the pricier side but could be a fun splurge if you're looking for something really different (and if you're willing to eat Chicago hot dogs and pizza for the rest of your trip). :) Check out the websites for more info as well as pics of the restaurants and food. (The pictures of the food at Alinea are worth checking out... Click on "Gallery" to view.) ...Have fun!
