Maurice Graham Henry on the best farm-to-table restaurants in
Illinois
Topolobampo
is one of the best known and most dynamic
restaurants in Chicago. And North
Pond, a restaurant steeped in farm-to-table principles, is located in one of
Chicago's most beautiful locations: along a pond in beautiful Lincoln Park.
(Charlie Trotter's, one of the premier farm to table restaurants in the
country, has closed.) In the Chicago suburb of Western Springs, Chef Paul Virant prepares
contemporary American cuisine at Vie Restaurant. And in the central area of
the state, Chef Josh Adams of June restaurant is gaining national
recognition for outstanding Modern American cuisine as well as his
farm-to-table passion. The
extraordinary array of farm-fresh organic and naturally raised supplies
bring rich rewards to the chefs and owners committed to realizing farm to
table ideals in their kitchens.
