All of Chicago’s Past James Beard Award Winners | Eater Chicago
"This no-frills South Side roadside shack has been treating diners to some of the city’s finest seafood for almost seven decades. The menu runs the gamut from fried shrimp to smoked salmon and trout. Guests often eat in their cars or on the curb because of the limited seating, but that’s no deterrent for the restaurant’s loyal fans. The James Beard Foundation recognized Calumet Fisheries in 2010 and declared it a timeless American Classic. The restaurant recently reopened after a fire in 2023." - Naomi Waxman
