The season's best bites By Phil Vettel Chicago is one of the most dynamic restaurant markets in the country. New restaurants spring up, old ones close down.

Keeping track of it all is a full-time job. Welcome to our Spring Dining Guide, which is packed with hundreds of restaurant recommendations, including more than two dozen restaurants. Whatever cuisine you crave, whatever your price range, you ll find the perfect choice in here. But don t just take my word for it. And we turned the tables a little by asking some of the city s most highly regarded chefs where they like to dine outside of their own kitchens.
