How this list works

Every restaurant here carries a recorded mention from Man v. Food and sits among the most critically acclaimed restaurants we index in Chicago. Ordering is by total professional critic mentions, not user reviews or star averages.

A city with fewer than 5 recorded Man v. Food restaurants gets no page, so this is a list we can stand behind rather than a page built to exist.
