Chicago: Nana
Run by a crew of four siblings and Nana, their mother, this restaurant is all about organic, farm-to-table comfort food. Their twist on a classic po' boy comes complete with deep-fried oysters and grilled shrimp atop a housemade sauce gribiche and is topped with their jalapeno-infused giardiniera.

Chicago: DMK Burger Bar
Gourmet restaurant veteran Chef Michael Kornick is the grill master behind the
