Gran Cru Chicago, Inc. - mEAT Restaurants, Chicago

If you got three chances to guess what they serve at mEAT, chances are, you'd only need one. From the predictably amazing beef, chicken, and pork skewers to the crab-rangoon flatbreads to vegetarian- and pescatarian-friendly entrees, they serve gourmet dishes for all palates. As perfect for people with a backyard barbecue sensibility as they are for fine-dining enthusiasts and those who only eat things off sticks, those main courses include bacon-wrapped chicken with jalapeños, beef tenderloin tips in a burgundy wine sauce, and wasabi-crusted salmon with dijon mustard. It all washes down even smoother when paired with a wide array of whiskey cocktails, craft beers, and molecular chemistry-inspired vaportinis.
