Cooking students in Chicago might be most familiar with the Windy City's famous deep-dish pizza, and we can't forget the greasy Cheezeborger from the Billy Goat Tavern. But the Second City also boasts over 7,000 restaurants, including some of the most distinctive hot spots for foodies in the U.S., such as Alinea and Spiaggia Restaurant, a favorite haunt of President and Mrs. Obama. Chicago culinary students will be inspired by the work of top chefs like Charlie Trotter, Arun Sampanthavivat, and Rick Bayless, as well as cuisine from the Chicago's 75 distinct cultural neighborhoods, from Little Saigon to Greektown.
