Where To Have a Unique Dining Experience In Chicago
"Dubbed a “living classroom,” this pseudo-fine dining spot across from the Art Institute is run by Kendall College culinary students and their instructors. The $45, three-course prix fixe menu is what you’d expect from a school—generally tasty dishes that are technique driven and technically perfect, but lacking a little in the creativity department. The real draw, however, is the view into the open kitchen and the ability to watch may-be-famous-someday chefs. That, plus witnessing the endearing awkwardness of students working front-of-house for the first time. It’s basically an opportunity to be part of a lower-stakes version of Top Chef’s infamous Restaurant Wars, without all the yelling and knowing looks from the Judges’ Table." - veda kilaru, adrian kane, john ringor
