Episode Summary

Few people know Chicago like celebrated hotel concierge Philippe Gills. In this episode, he’ll share a local attraction that is so special, it’s a must even for native Chicagoans—a music and arts experience that feels forbidden. And after 24 years in the business, Gills tells us what to look for in a great concierge. From the Crain’s newsroom, Ally Marotti and David Manilow discuss 2022's biggest trends in the restaurant business, whether prices will stay high next year and why suburban Chicago dining is suddenly hot.
