What’s the best meal you ate out in the Chicago area in 2018?

We asked Chicago food pros to name their absolute favorite.

Jim Mullen, Founder of Mullen's Apple Sauce

Best Meal: Veal Parmesan with Pasta

Restaurant: Stefani Prime, 6755 N. Cicero Ave., Lincolnwood, 847-696-6755,www.StefaniPrime.com

The Skinny: “We went to a brand-new neighborhood restaurant for a relative’s birthday. We celebrated at Stefani Prime in Lincolnwood. I had the Veal Parmesan with Pasta and would just say that it was absolutely succulent. Everybody had something different and we were all very, very pleased with our meals. The restaurant is a little on the expensive side, but it's understandable with the new developing costs of that property. I really thought everything we had was top notch.”
