"On the 40th floor of the Chicago Stock Exchange tower, in a room rimmed with windows overlooking the Loop, Alsatian-born chef Jean Joho has earned kudos by serving refined and updated versions of old-country fare and French classics," Oseland says. Think cream of watercress soup with quenelles and frog legs. "The wine list is one of the most extensive and diverse collections of Alsatian wines in America; Joho exports a good number of bottles himself."
