Smyth (restaurant)
Smyth is a restaurant located in Chicago. Smyth and Alinea are the only two restaurants in Chicago currently holding three Michelin stars. Smyth is located on the second floor, above a bar called The Loyalist, also operated by Smyth's owners. According to the Michelin Guide, "The very chic Smyth with its lounge styling and open kitchen is helmed by Chefs John Shields and Karen Urie Shields. Their cooking is bold and often pushes boundaries, all the while impressing. Sheer creativity is applied to seasonal produce, some of which comes from their garden." A reviewer for ''Condé Nast Traveller'' described some of the dishes: "Lobster Gelée (with Maine uni, melon ceviche, and bergamot oil), the Sunchoke Tart (with a caramelized-salted egg yolk custard, Maitake mushroom mayonnaise, and sunchokes skins); and the Braised Beef Cheek (with dried turnip, black finger lime, and burnt cabbage reduction)", concluding that Smyth offers a "more-casual-than-normal seasonal tasting menu".

List Of Michelin 3-star Restaurants In The United States
This article contains a complete list of Michelin 3-star restaurants in the United States. Michelin stars are a rating system used by the red Michelin Guide to grade restaurants on their quality. The guide was originally developed in 1900 to show French drivers where local amenities such as restaurants and mechanics were. The rating system was first introduced in 1926 as a single star, with the second and third stars introduced in 1933. According to the Guide, one star signifies "a very good restaurant", two stars are "excellent cooking that is worth a detour", and three stars mean "exceptional cuisine that is worth a special journey". The listing of starred restaurants is updated once per year. The Michelin Guide began reviewing restaurants in the United States in 2005 beginning with New York City. In subsequent years, Michelin expanded its reviews to other major US cities. As of the 2024 Michelin Guide, there are 14 restaurants in the US with a rating of 3 Michelin stars. L ...

List Of Michelin-starred Restaurants In Chicago
As of the 2024 ''Michelin Guide'', there are 19 restaurants in Chicago with a Michelin-star rating. The ''Michelin Guides'' have been published by the French tire company Michelin since 1900.

They rate the restaurants on five criteria: "quality of products", "mastery of flavor and cooking techniques", "the personality of the chef represented in the dining experience", "value for money", and "consistency between inspectors' visits". Inspectors have at least ten years of expertise and create a list of popular restaurants supported by media reports, reviews, and diner popularity. If they reach a consensus, Miche ...
