2011 Great Neighborhood Restaurants & Resources

LTHForum, a go-to resource for Chicagoans looking to explore the vibrant maze of food options, has spoken. Their 2011 Great Neighborhood Restaurants & Resources list is composed of establishments that members feel most aptly “contribute to their neighborhoods’ and the region’s character by offering outstanding food, an authentic experience of their ethnic culture, and/or a welcoming (or in some cases, belovedly cranky) atmosphere for guests.” The list includes a selection of well-known foodie favorites (Anteprima, The Bristol, The Purple Pig, and Xoco), hole-in-the-wall’s (Mr. D’s Shish-Kabobs, Great Sea, Carniceria y Taqueria Tierra Caliente), and a few unknowns that you may just want to add to your perennially expanding list of must-try’s, such as the Peruvian joint, D’Candela, Aroy Thai, and the Asian-influenced sandwich shop, Zenwich.
