20 Restaurants Worth the Drive From Chicago | Eater Chicago
"Justin Aprahamian has made a name for himself as one of the region’s best chefs with his critically-acclaimed restaurant. His self-described ‘Modern Ethnic’ cuisine takes flavor profiles and techniques from across the globe and incorporates them into contemporary dishes. The result is stunning bites like sake-cured scallop and trout roe on strawberry wild flower gel with ginger cream; molasses-glazed quail with roasted matsutake mushrooms and mustard greens; and elk loin with bolognese cannelloni. For the adventurous, a surprise tasting menu presents seven sublime courses and removes decision-making from the equation." - Jeffy Mai
