Food lovers in Chicago will have a lot of choices to make next month when Chicago Restaurant Week returns for its 17th year, with nearly 400 restaurants offering special menus for the multi-day culinary feast.
The food fest event kicks off on Jan. 18 with First Bites Bash at Chicago’s Field Museum where more than 50 restaurants will offer a taste of their restaurant week menus. The host chef is Dominique Leach of Lexington Betty Smokehouse, the newly crowned winner of season four Food Network’s “BBQ Brawl.”
