Blackbird Grove
Midtown, Chicago, Illinois
Seasonal plates, local roots.
Tucked into Midtown, Blackbird Grove is Chicago's kind of casual table, warm, unfussy, and built around whatever the local growers are harvesting that week. Led by chef Leah Chen.

- Hannah S. rated 5/5: The bread alone is worth the trip, and it turns out it is milled from a local grain farm.
- Ravi D. rated 5/5: Everything tasted like it was picked that morning. You can tell they actually know their farmers.
