Eight Chicago restaurants have been added to the Michelin Guide, it was announced Wednesday. The eight join a list of 166 Chicago eateries currently featured in the guide.
The eateries have now received “recommended” status from Michelin’s inspectors, those anonymous diners extraordinaire who utilize decades-old criteria to evaluate a restaurant’s overall quality including: “mastery of cooking techniques; harmony of flavors; the voice and personality of the chef as reflected in the cuisine; and consistency over time and across the entire menu.”
