The Staff Canteen
Michelin today announced its star selections for the sixth edition of the Michelin Guide Chicago 2016, which goes on sale tomorrow. In the new edition of the Guide, Acadia moves up from one to two stars, joining 42 Grams (Lincoln Park and Old Town) and Sixteen (River North). Lincoln Park’s L20, which was on last year’s two-star list, closed its doors early in 2015. 41PK0f7I9GL._SX290_BO1,204,203,200_Michael Ellis, international director of the Michelin Guide, said: “We have been following Chef Ryan McCaskey at Acadia closely for the last few years and he continues to impress us with his elegant technique-driven cooking.” “Over the past year, he has delivered superb cuisine with a unique perspective and superb
ingredients. We are thrilled to see his cooking reach these new heights.” Chicago’s three star restaurants, Grace in the West Loop and Alinea in Lincoln Park, both retained their coveted ranking in the new Guide.
