Chicago Bound

Hey readers, I'm heading to Chicago the 2nd week of August to cook with chefs and home cooks for my next book and I need your help. Who are your favorite Chicago chefs? What are your favorite Chicago restaurants? It'd be great if you could share the less obvious ones (yes, I've reached out to Rick Bayless...still haven't heard back!); also if you know any stand-out home cooks with unique stories or cooking styles, let me know that too. Thanks!
