Topolobampo - Chicago, IL
Rick Bayless has become one of the most popular American chefs specializing in Mexican cuisine, and his 1 Michelin-starred restaurant Topolobampo in Chicago serves up plenty of edible proof of his talents. In a contemporary and elegant atmosphere, diners can enjoy a sophisticated tasting menu of regional Mexican cuisine with award-winning wine pairings. It's definitely one of the more upscale options on this list and worth the splurge. Even better, the themed menu changes regularly, so you're unlikely to have the same food experience twice. Just keep in mind that it's not the type of meal where you get in and get out quickly. Part of the experience is about relaxing and savoring each dish, so don't be surprised if it lasts a few hours.
