    The Golden Age of Chicago Dining

    He could send panic through a restaurant’s staff when he arrived, but while they freaked out, he was always rooting for them. An acclaimed Chicago Tribune journalist who was its food critic for 31 years, Phil Vettel witnessed the evolution of the Chicago food scene, covering talents like Charlie Trotter, Grant Achatz, and Stephanie Izard. In the process, he brought attention to Chicago as one of the nation’s finest culinary destinations. For 11 years, he served on the James Beard Foundation’s Restaurant and Chef Awards Committee. You’ve trusted his reviews. Now get his ringside point of view on the Chicago food scene and the culinary giants who make it sizzle.
