25 RESTAURANTS I WANT TO TRY IN CHICAGO

One item on my birthday list is to make a list of 25 restaurants I want to try in Chicago this year (and eat at at least half of them!). I did this while I was 23 and living in NYC, but I was weird and didn't post the full list until less than a month before my 24th birthday, so I thought I'd post this one sooner.
