We open this episode with "What Dave Ate" -- a detailed route of multiple Chicago taste sensations from Chinatown to West Town. In our food celebrity spotlight, David visits with Meathead, a proud member of the Barbecue Hall of Fame. Meathead schools us on the sins of high heat when it comes to grilling. Plus we'll swing by the Crain's newsroom to visit with Ally Marotti. Ally has the lowdown on how restauranteurs are battling inflation.
Our Dining Table stops in this episode include Andros Taverna, Hing Lee, Publican Quality Bread, Charlie Beinlich's, Sabri Hihari, and Piccoloa Sogno. If you want to study up on the science of great barbecue and grilling, Meathead can help you here.
