I'm a sucker for fabulous food and try to always go to the 'must-visit' restaurant if there is one where I happen to visit.

I have heard many good things about food in Chicago so am looking forward to a 2 1/2 day stay in July.

Is there a particularly oustanding restaurant in Chicago that people here feel I should visit?

I also hear that there are lots of good, small eateries all over the place. Any particular area you would recommend?

Thanks for your tips!
