Friends, I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July holiday last week. If you haven’t had a chance to share some of your favorite American Classics with the community, you still should…we’re all listening!

Today, we are talking about Chicago, one of my favorite cities in the U.S. It has everything you could possibly want in a city—amazing people! Beautiful architecture! A giant, shiny bean! And of course, some of the best food you can find in the entire country. It’s not all hot dogs and Italian beef sandwiches and deep dish pizza, people (though you have to try those too when you’re visiting). You could eat at a different place for every meal for a year and still not even scratch the surface of Chicago food. Of course we also have my restaurants Bazaar Meat, Bar Mar, Pigtail and Jaleo, and we love when you come visit us. So people… are you hungry yet??

For this Chef’s List, I asked a few of my friends for their favorite places to eat in Chicago. First, Daniela Romero, our head chef at Bazaar in Chicago who has recently moved to our soon-to-open Bazaar Mar in Las Vegas. We’ll also hear from Emanuel Santiago, our lead bartender at Pigtail in Chicago.

So first, here is Daniela with a few of her favorite places to eat and drink in the Windy City:
