Chicago’s Best New Restaurants Of 2019 - Chicago - The Infatuation

"Like a Choose Your Own Adventure book, or that one Robert Frost poem, there are two paths to choose from at Jeong in West Town: ordering a la carte or (you guessed it) getting the $87 seven-course tasting menu. It’s not a decision to make lightly - both have entirely different dishes, and duck fat-fried tteokbokki versus kimchi truffle steak isn’t an easy choice. But after a lot of research and development, we can confirm that the tasting menu is the way to go. From a simple salmon tartare with creme fraiche to silky tofu custard to the steak - everything is excellent. Plus, we just order the tteokbokki from the al la carte menu regardless." - josh barnett, adrian kane
