Michelin Bib Gourmand Chicago

Chicago has been Michelin crazy lately, after this week's announcement of which local restaurants were deemed worthy of a star or two, or, in the case of Alinea, three. But I am always equally interested in the restaurants that receive the Bib Gourmand award, Michelin's designation of the city's best-value restaurants. I'm quite familiar with most of the 56 Chicago-area restaurants that were awarded the Bib Gourmand (which means that, for $40 or less, diners can enjoy two courses and a glass of wine or dessert), but I loved that there were a few outliers on the list, giving me four new reasons to dine out this week. Let me introduce you to four Michelin winners that I'd never even heard of!
