“Chicago has always been a great food town,” James Beard Award-winning pastry chef Gina DePalma (of New York’s Babbo) told Digital City. “But lately there’s been an explosion of new and thrilling talent.” What does she like? “I’m drawn to food that is both simple and sublime, so I’m wild about everything my friend Shawn McClain does at Spring, Custom House, and Green Zebra.” Shoutouts also to Blackbird, L2O, and DePalma’s “favorite restaurant,” TRU.
