Like many American cities, food is very high up on the list of priorities. The local people simply love their food, and are indeed very knowledgeable on the subject. Generally speaking, they won't just settle for any old dish. They demand the best, and this is probably the reason that Chicago boasts some of the finest eateries in the world. The turnover rates of restaurants in the city are very high. The reason for this is the extremely high standards of both capability and neighborliness that the Chicagoans set. Prices vary from place to place and from area to area. Generally speaking, all tastes, preferences and pockets are well catered for. As with other US cities, the legal age for alcohol consumption is 21. If in doubt, bring a good form of photographed identification with you. Don't forget the tipping process. You can expect to add approximately 20% to the bill cost. The following is just a short list of some recommended places to dine, but is by no means conclusive.
