Esmé and Next sit at the top, both Delicious as F*ck, both Michelin One Star — Esmé backed by a James Beard Finalist nod, Next by a James Beard Winner badge from 2014. Behind them, Table, Donkey and Stick and Lardon hold Damn Good with Michelin Bib Gourmand honors, both running $$ in Logan Square. Four spots, four badges. That's the whole list.
