Bon Appetit magazine awarded its annual “Restaurant City of the Year” honors to Chicago today. Just one week after four Chicago restaurants landed on the mag’s list of 50 best new restaurants in the country (no other city had more), and fewer than three months after a similarly smitten Conde Nast Traveler named Chicago the Best Restaurant City In America.

“Where other cities fall into soulless trend cycles, Chicago has a way of generating distinctively personal restaurants, writes Julia Kramer, a native Chicagoan and onetime food critic at Time Out Chicago, in Bon Appetit. “So, SF and L.A., this might hurt a little, but here’s all the proof you need that the Midwest is best.”  More from Chicagoist HERE

Amazing honor, but I think “Restaurant City of All Time” is more fitting.  What is your favorite restaurant?  Tell us on facebook.
