What's the best restaurant in Chicagoland?

You can find out here. (Although another popular place showed up in the #10 slot.)

Yep. That's exactly it. Someone has finally made a list that is 100% correct.

Congrats on being #2, Gus.

And anyone who knows me knows that I've always said that "Savor The Flavor" is the #3 restaurant in Chicago.

Gus was #1 when I first posted ...

I can't believe Trotter's is #82. I would have expected them to at least crack the top 75. Oh wait! Kevin is #75. Now that they've closed, that leaves the bottom 25 in complete upheaval.

Congratulations, Gus!

I find the methodology on this one to be interesting (scroll to the bottom of the page in the link)

How is this list calculated?
The list of best restaurants is calculated by taking the number of positive votes and subtracting the number of negative votes multiplied by two. Restaurants must have more than five votes to qualify for inclusion in our list. This ordering tends to slightly favor more established restaurants. Note that the Top 10 list on the main Chicago page only shows restaurants that are $$$ or $$$$.

Hi guys. Thanks for the shout out and welcome to Urbanspoon! I grew up in Glencoe, though I live in Seattle now. I tried extra hard to make sure that our Chicago neighborhoods came out right. Check it out:

If you vote on restaurants you can definitely produce movement in our top 10 list. The rankings aren't perfect yet but they improve over time as more people vote. Also, if you create an Urbanspoon profile and add a few friends you can compare notes on Chicago restaurants. Here's my profile:
