EL Ideas

On a dead-end gritty Chicago street, in an unassuming and unmarked building, in the middle of nowhere sits a different type of fine dining restaurant: El Ideas. Recently awarded a coveted Michelin star, El Ideas doesn't fit a traditional fine dining experience where your glasses seem to magically fill themselves by nearly invisible wait staff and the waiters are dressed in suits. Make no mistake, though, Chef Phillip Foss and his team of five rock star chefs (who are literally rocking out to tunes like the Beastie Boys in the kitchen) serve up a molecular cuisine you will not soon forget.
