For our first Eat Out Awards, the challenge wasn’t finding amazing food and drinks in Chicago—it was narrowing down the best from a break-out year. Local chefs achieved national acclaim, pizza parlors aimed for authenticity, and mixologists brought the farm to the bar, spiking cocktails with herbs, fruits and vegetables. Our 25 Critics’ Picks Awards honor everything from the year’s best play on surf-and-turf to the city’s fiercest culinary crusader.
We also solicited your opinions for our Readers’ Choice Awards, and you weighed in with nearly 4,000 votes in our online poll. Eat up and enjoy.—Heather Shouse, Eat Out editor
