Reader Best Of Chicago 2009

LTH,

Chicago Reader Best Of Chicago 2009 is up and, of course garnering picks and pans from other food media including a pointed "big old pile of nothing new" from Menu Pages Helen Rosner. Time Out Chicago's David Tamarkin agrees with Helen and offers the perspective "maybe there are too many cooks covering cooks in the kitchen."

There seems agreement Mike Sula's pick of Mixteco as Best New Restaurant is an interesting innovative choice and Sun Wah Bar-B-Que as Best Bang for Your Buck, which I wrote, is a big yawn, as everyone knows about Sun Wah by now.
