Ще якихось 20-15 років тому, термін “етнічна кухня” часто асоціювався у чиказьців з недорогими закладами громадського харчування, де можна було швидко поїсти. Проте, сьогодні чиказькі шеф-кухарі етнічних ресторанів підняли унікальні страви народів світу до нових, “вишуканих” висот.
Вони перетворили культуру харчування у справжнє мистецтво.
