The Best Restaurants of the Past 20 Years Left Their Mark | Eater
"Made major waves when it opened in Chicago 20 years ago, scoring three Michelin stars and putting theatrical, maximalist, surprise-packed tasting menus on the national map with powders, vapors, edible puzzles, and trompe l’oeils; it functioned as America’s answer to El Bulli and left a lasting imprint on modern restaurants and cocktail bars despite the waning novelty of molecular gastronomy." - Eater Staff
