<a href="/bestnewchefs/?year=1999&chef=740B8468-5A8E-47D5-9B6083F6561F5FF0">Paul Kahan (an F&W Best New Chef 1999)</a> has built a reputation as one of the top cooks in Chicago and the country, with an expanding empire that includes the wine bar <strong>Avec</strong> and an about-to-open beer-focused place. At Blackbird, his New American flagship, he and new chef de cuisine Mike Sheerin create inspired combinations like fennel-and-sesame-seed soup with smoked eel. The food-friendly wine list boasts a large selection of Alsace whites.
We loved: Smoked lentil–stuffed guinea hen.
