Dropping $500 on dinner might sound wild, but that’s the going rate at Alinea, Chicago’s most expensive—and most celebrated—restaurant. This isn’t just a meal; it’s a full-on culinary adventure, with multi-course menus that have earned Alinea a rare Michelin 3-star rating and a stack of “best restaurant” awards. Even if most of us are just window-shopping these days, it’s fascinating to see how far fine dining can go. Would you ever splurge on a meal like this, or do you prefer your food a little more down-to-earth? Let’s hear your thoughts! #Food #ChicagoEats #FineDining
