You’re a national acclaimed pastry chef who has worked with Alice Waters, an internationally recognized blogger, and the author of The Sweet Life in Paris: Delicious Adventures in the World’s Most Glorious - and Perplexing - City. Basically, you’re David Lebovitz, and you’re in Chicago to sign some books. Where is your first stop in the city? How about a jaunt to Kuma’s Corner for a 10-ounce patty melt, mac and cheese, and a “mighty tasty” sip of whatever whiskey happens to be on tap. Sure, he also visited the darling Floriole Cafe in Lincoln Park, but we’re still giddy when we read that he thinks the death-metal burger bar serves the “best hamburgers and macaroni and cheese you’ll ever come across.” [Davidlebovitz.com]
