Review: Paramount Room
The Tribune's Phil Vettel wrote on The Stew this morning about the just-released 2K8 AAA Restaurant and Hotel ratings. Chicago leads the way with more five-diamond rated restaurants than any other city. Furthermore, there are no surprises on the list, since it's identical to last year's awardees. Congratulations are in order to Alinea, Arun's, Avenues, Charlie Trotter's (his fourteenth straight year with a five-diamond rating), Everest, Seasons, and Tru for setting the standard in local fine-dining excellence once again.
Thanks to matty for the tip.

hey just here to give props where props are due!
It seems rather uninspiring to see exactly the same results as the previous year. Does that reflect a lack of progress in our city or a lack of imagination on the part of the judging panel. Sure, I like to go to my favorite restaurants, too, but how about making room for some new faces?
I would suspect the latter, but then these restaurants are the cream of the crop and the guide is intended mainly for travelers. In that regard, they're hitting their target audience.
I wonder what the TAX portion of an average bill at one of these places is.
