Chicago has got some big culinary chops. The city’s a foodie destination and makes practically every list involving best new chef, restaurant, kitchen wizardry, and other accolades. On Tuesday, some local joints received a coveted star from the Michelin Guide. There were some usual suspects on the list and a couple of snubs as well. Louisa Chu blogs about food and more for WBEZ and she joined Eight Forty-Eight to talk about the list.
