Awesome Food: Graham Elliott

Graham Elliott is truly one of the *best* restaurants I've ever dined at in Chicago (perhaps even the best). That's a big statement because there are just so many good eating establishments here. We had the pleasure of having my pre-birthday dinner there with my aunt and sis, who are visiting this week from Florida.  

Graham Elliott emphasizes experiential dining and dynamic gastronomy, where the freshest of food is presented as art in an understated, welcoming setting of brick, lime green, and simple twig decor. Each dish had layers of flavors and textures, fusing into one delightful morsel after morsel.
