CHICAGO: Cultural News
It was announced today that Charlie Trotter's, an institution in the Chicago restaurant scene, will close this August, and I couldn't think of an appropriate thread for (discussion about) the news. I'm hoping this one will serve that purpose. Feel free to post anything related to cultural developments (restaurants, music, theater, exhibitions, etc.).
CHICAGO TRIBUNE: Charlie Trotter's restaurant to close in August |
Personally, I'm pretty bummed. The Michelin Guide was tough on Chicago this year: L20 lost two stars, NoMI and Sixteen lost theirs, and North Pond, Les Nomades and Next were all ignored. (On the plus side, Moto was awarded its first and the Bib Gourmand list grew from 46 to 56, but that's relatively small consolation, IMO.) With Charlie Trotter's closing, I'm kind of afraid to see what their 2013 publication will look like.

Hey, world class restaurants help make a world class city. It's indeed a loss. Can't be upset with Trotter though. He's gotta live his life. That's a long time to be in the restaurant business. I wish him all the best.

...also saw this all over Facebook the past few days. It's at least worth a chuckle.
