And the list is out!
Only 22 total starred restaurants this year (down from 25). Alinea retains its position as the only 3-starred restaurant in Chicago along with a few notable exceptions: Monteverde has been left off the list after so much recognition and Bellemore has also been left off (of this list and the Bib Gourmand list).
