"A restaurant town in the truest sense of the term, Chicago extends far beyond Polish sausage, deep-dish pizza, and world-class steaks. Thanks to corner vendors and legends like the original Pizzeria Uno, Gino's East, Gene and Georgetti, and Morton’s, thos..."

"With such ambitious fare, it’s no surprise that the prestigious James Beard Foundation nominated Spring as one of the best new restaurants in America in 2001. Complimenting the cuisine is an expansive wine list, which, when printed with a small font, stil..."

"We dined at Spring last week based on very good reviews and the Midwest chef of the year award and I have to say I was a little disappointed. Whilst everything was good, nothing was great although when...."

"The first restaurant venture of executive chef Shawn McClain, now the overlord of a mini empire that includes Green Zebra and Custom House, Spring's a half-decade old and still fresh. The concept's simple: clean, clever Asian-influenced seafood dishes...."

"Chef Shawn McClain's artistic but unfussy fish preparations -- from tuna tartare with quail egg to cod in crab and sweet pea sauce -- distinguish the sophisticated Spring from the seasonal restaurant. Like McClain's cooking, the restaurant's interior desi..."

"Located in a former bathhouse near the intersection of North, Damen and Milwaukee Avenues, Spring is the much-lauded restaurant led by chef-owner Shawn McClain, formerly of 4-star Trio. McClain's seafood-dominated menu is New American with a strong Japane..."

"Frontera Grill's Rick Bayless is contending for an award for his cookbook, Mexican Everyday, and Charlie Trotter, of the eponymous restaurant, got a nomination for his TV show, The Kitchen Sessions. Also vying for food media awards are Channel 7 and Chann..."

"Shawn McClain's reign as "king of cuisine" of West Town remains intact even as he expands his little empire to three. His award-winning Spring, an Asian-influenced, seafood-heavy spot, is situated in the former North Avenue Bathhouse in Bucktown, where de..."

""There"s more concentrated flavor with the moisture removed, plus it allows you to add water when needed—or not, and just sprinkle it. � For the high-end chocolatier"s honey-foam chocolate bite, the Coco Rouge crew mixes the granulated honey wit..."

"Located at the Luxor Bathhouse (designed with a Russian bathhouse in mind), Spring is one of the city's popular restaurants. The decor resembles nothing close to a Russian bathhouse, but is in fact well-balanced, using Zen principles...."
