On June 15, the culinary world will descend on Chicago for the James Beard Awards. For the uninitiated, this esteemed ceremony, hosted by the James Beard Foundation, recognizes the country’s best chefs, restaurateurs, authors, and journalists — the people dedicated to cooking, sharing, and celebrating life’s greatest pleasure: food. Whether you’ve just landed at O’Hare or Midway Airports in preparation for the event, are looking for a beloved restaurant for your friends, or need a late-night bite after your own party, these are the spots the nominees (and future winners) are sure to hit. Don’t miss out, as these are some of Chicago’s hottest spots — and a big reason why the food world’s biggest night takes place in our great city. This content was produced in partnership with Chicago O’Hare & Midway International Airports, two award-winning airports that boast more than 270 restaurants and shops.
