"Perhaps it’s not giving Kindling, the ground-floor restaurant inside the Willis Tower, enough credit by calling it a steakhouse. Chef Jonathon Sawyer won a James Beard Award for his work in Cleveland, and he’s made a mark by teaming up with Fifty/50 Restaurant Group with a decadent menu of fire-grilled items. Inspired by famed chef Francis Mallmann, the team takes pride in live-fire cooking, and the result is some of the tastiest beef in Chicago with a hint of South American influence. Seriously, everything — even the wagyu Italian beef — is kissed with a little smoke, and that leads to deliciousness." - Ashok Selvam
