If you're visiting Chicago and love food, you know the city's Beard Award winners and latest crop of nominees are sure bets for top-notch dining. But the offerings don't end there.
The official Enjoy Illinois blog, published by the Illinois Office of Tourism, is a one-stop guide to restaurants, museums, historical sites, and more in Chicago. Head over there now for a roundup of where to eat during JBFA weekend. We also love their inspired Instagram Challenges, with themes like "Iconic Destinations" and "Vintage."
And since the Beards have relocated to Chicago for three years, you have plenty of time to explore the rest of the Prairie State. Enjoy Illinois's "Land of Lincoln" series will point you toward beautiful scenic routes, wine-country tours, and more.
We'll see you in Chicago, a world-class destination, this weekend.
The Illinois Office of Tourism is a proud sponsor of the 2015 James Beard Awards.
