Grace- Chicago’s Next 3-Michelin Star Resto. Done Deal.

Tweet Let me just go ahead and say this: Good job, Curtis Duffy. Three Michelin stars are comin’ your way! Dinner at Grace was spectacular.

Fat Rice- It’s AMAZING and you MUST go NOW!

Tweet This might be my new favorite restaurant in Chicago. There. I said it. I’ve been telling everyone I can about Fat Rice. It was seriously one of the best meals I’ve had in Chicago in a while.
