• Start each note with its corresponding number, a period, and one space.
• For the first footnote or endnote for a source, give the full citation information.
• For subsequent notes, use use the author's name, title, and the page number.
• If you use the same source two or more times in a row, use the abbreviation Ibid., followed by the page number.

To cite books , check the front pages of the book or the record in the library catalog to find the publication information you need to format the citation. Sample Chicago style format for the first footnote or endnote for a print book:

1. Author's Name, Title of Book (Place of Publication: Publisher, Publication Date), Page Numbers.

To cite articles found in our library databases , check the article citation or article information page to find publication information.

1. Author's Name, "Title of Article,"  Title of Journal Volume Number, Issue Number (Date of Publication), Page Numbers, Name of Database , Database Vendor ( or persistent/stable URL, accession number or doi).   

The 16th edition does not require the date accessed for articles from library databases. You could generally cite an online database journal article similar to a print journal article, but also add the database information, and an accession number or doi. 

Library databases may allow you export a citation or to save a citation in a particular format. You can then copy and paste the citation text into your footnote or endnote.

For example:

• EBSCO databases, including Academic Search , select the include when saving/sending checkbox and select Chicago/Turabian:Humanities style from drop-down Citation Format list.

Be sure to check with your instructor and follow requirements for your assignment.  Check the formatting and make any necessary corrections.

NOTE: For a print book review, omit the DOI URL.

DOI - Digital Object Identifier

Most scholarly publishers now assign a unique alpha-numeric code called a DOI (Digital Object Identifier) to journal articles, e-books, and other documents. Chicago guidelines for citing electronic resources include this number in the citation whenever possible. The DOI can generally be found on the first page of scholarly journal articles as well as in the database record for that article. DOIs are typically provided within a URL beginning with  https://doi-org.ezproxy.uleth.ca/  and ending with the DOI, as seen in this example:  https://doi-org.ezproxy.uleth.ca/10.1017/CBO9781139028080.

If the DOI does not appear on the article or in the database record, it may be found by entering citation information into the free DOI Lookup on CrossRef.org.

To determine DOIs for an entire reference list, copy & paste the entire list here: Cross/Ref Simple Text Query .

A DOI can be searched or verified by entering the DOI number here: Cross/Ref DOI Resolver .

Materials originally published prior to the Internet, but now available online, may not have a DOI. When a DOI is not available, include the URL in its place.

Welcome to the Purdue OWL

This page is brought to you by the OWL at Purdue University. When printing this page, you must include the entire legal notice.

Copyright ©1995-2018 by The Writing Lab & The OWL at Purdue and Purdue University. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, reproduced, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed without permission. Use of this site constitutes acceptance of our terms and conditions of fair use.

Periodicals include print journals, electronic journals, magazines, and newspapers. Citations for these sources should include enough information for the reader to find them   in a library or a database, and as such, publication dates are essential. Magazines and newspapers are typically serialized by day, month, and year; journals include volume, year, month, or season and issue number.

One of the major differences between notes and bibliographic entries for periodicals is the way in which major elements are separated. In notes, the major elements are separated by commas. In the bibliography, the major elements are separated by periods.

Notes and bibliographic entries for a journal include the following: full name of the author(s), article title, journal title, and issue information. Issue information refers to volume, issue number, month, year, and page number(s). For online works, retrieval information and the date of access are also included. Author Name:

Notes include the author’s name as listed in the article. Bibliographic entries, however, invert the author’s name (last name, first name). Article Title: Both notes and bibliographies use quotation marks to set off the titles of articles within the journal. Journal Title: Journal titles may omit an initial “The” but should otherwise be given in full, capitalized (headline-style), and italicized. Issue Information: The volume number follows the journal title with no punctuation and is not italicized. The issue number (if it is given) is separated from the volume number with a comma and is preceded by “no.” The year appears in parentheses after the volume number (or issue number if given). The year may be preceded by a specific date, month, or season if given. Page information follows the year. For notes, page number(s) refer only to the cited material; the bibliography includes the first and last pages of the article.

Electronic Journals

Citing electronic journals generally follows the same format for printed periodicals, which is explained in the Journals section. Additionally, entries include the DOI or URL (DOIs are preferred). The date accessed is not required by CMOS for citations of formally published electronic sources. If an access date is required for other reasons (i.e. by discipline, publisher, or instructor), the access date should be included immediately prior to the DOI or URL. If included, access dates should be separated by commas in notes or periods in bibliographical entries.

Even if weekly or monthly magazines are numbered by volume or issue, they are cited by date only. When following the CMOS Note and Bibliography style, the year is presented as shown in the examples below. When following the CMOS Author-Date style, the date is essential to the citation and it is not enclosed in parentheses.

Page Numbers: Citations for journal articles may include a specific page number. Inclusive page numbers for the entire article are often omitted in bibliographical entries, however, because the pages of the article are often separated by many pages of unrelated material. If page numbers are included, they should follow the date and be preceded by a colon.

Notes and bibliographic entries for magazines include the following information: author’s name, article title (enclosed by quotation marks), magazine title (italicized), and date. Page numbers are included in notes but are omitted in bibliographic entries. Regular departments (or regularly occurring subsections) in a magazine are capitalized but not put in quotation marks. For example, National Geographic is the magazine that regularly includes a department called Foods of the Region.  

Online Magazines

Notes and bibliographic entries for online magazines should follow the relevant examples for printed magazines. Additionally, online magazine entries should contain the URL at the end of the citation. If no stable URL exists, the name of the database can be substituted. Note:  In the examples below, Green Room is not placed in quotation marks because it is the department title rather than the article title. Access Date:

Access dates are not required by CMOS in citations of formally published electronic sources. If an access date is required for other reasons (i.e. by discipline, publisher, or instructor), the access date should be included immediately prior to the URL. In notes, access dates are surrounded by commas and in bibliographic entries they are surrounded by periods.

Notes and bibliographic entries for newspapers should include the following: name of the author (if listed), headline or column heading, newspaper name, month (often abbreviated), day, and year. Since issues may include several editions, page numbers are usually omitted. If an online edition of a newspaper is consulted, the URL should be added at the end of the citation. Time stamps may be appropriate to include when stories for unfolding events are modified. Names of Newspapers: If the name of a newspaper begins with “The,” this word is omitted. For American newspapers that are not well-known, a city name should be added along with the newspaper title (see below). Additionally, a state abbreviation may be added in parentheses after the city name. News Services: News services, such as the Associated Press or the United Press International, are capitalized but not italicized and often appear in the author position of the citation. Headlines: Headlines may be capitalized using “headline style,” in which all major words are capitalized. Although many major newspapers prefer sentence style, the CMOS recommends headline style for consistency among various types of cited sources. Headlines presented entirely in full capital letters in the original are usually converted to headline-style upper and lower case in the citation. Regular Columns: If a regular column is cited, the column name may be included with the article title.

Editorials, Letters to the Editor, and Readers’ Comments: Published editorials and letters to the editor should be treated generically, usually without headlines. Instead of a title, use “letter to the editor” [14.196]. Citing in Text: Newspapers are more often cited in notes or parenthetical references than in bibliographies. If newspaper sources are carefully documented in the text, they need not be cited in the bibliography.

How to Cite a Review in Chicago Footnote Referencing

3-minute read

• 10th July 2020

If you’re writing an academic paper , you may want to refer to reviews of books, films, or artworks to back up your arguments. In this guide, then, we will show you how to cite a review in Chicago footnote referencing.

How to Cite a Review in Chicago Footnotes

In Chicago footnote referencing , to cite a review, give the following information in the first footnote citation:

n. Name of Reviewer, “Title of Review,” review of Title of Reviewed Work by Creator(s), location and date of performance (if applicable), Title of Periodical/Website , date of review, edition/section information, URL (online sources only).

That’s quite a lot to pack in! Not all of it will be relevant for every review, but try to include as much detail as possible. Let’s look at a few examples. Below are footnote citations for reviews of a book, a film, and a play:

1. Deborah Levy, “An American Writer Goes into the Jungle to Commune with a Tiger,” review of All the Way to the Tigers: A Memoir by Mary Morris, The New York Times , June 9, 2020, https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/09/books/review/all-the-way-to-the-tigers-mary-morris.html.

2. Kambole Campbell, review of Da 5 Bloods , directed by Spike Lee, Empire , June 10, 2020, https://www.empireonline.com/movies/reviews/da-5-bloods/.

3. Arifa Akbar, review of The Seven Streams of the River Ota , written and directed by Robert Lepage, National Theatre, London, March 13, 2020, The Guardian , March 15, 2020, Culture section, https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2020/mar/15/the-seven-streams-of-the-river-ota-review-national-theatre-london.

If the reviewer’s name isn’t available, simply start your footnote with “Unsigned review of” instead. The rest of the citation stays the same.

Reviews in a Chicago Bibliography

The bibliography entry for a review uses the same information as the footnote citation, but the presentation is a little different:

Reviewer’s Surname, First Name. “Title of Review,” review of Title of Reviewed Work by Creator(s), location and date of performance (if applicable). Title of Periodical/Website , date of review, edition/section information. URL (online sources only).

So, for example, we would list the book review above as follows:

Levy, Deborah. “An American Writer Goes into the Jungle to Commune with a Tiger,” review of All the Way to the Tigers: A Memoir by Mary Morris. The New York Times , June 9, 2020. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/09/books/review/all-the-way-to-the-tigers-mary-morris.html.

And if no reviewer is named, give the title of the periodical first:

Classical Concert Monthly. Unsigned review of concert performance by John Smith (ukulele) and Jane Roberts (kazoo), Concert Hall, Birmingham, January 13, 2020. January 14, 2020, Unusual Duets section.

These pointers will help you to cite reviews in Chicago footnote referencing. If you would like an expert editor to check your writing, though, why not upload a paper and try our proofreading services ?

Chicago Manual of Style

• Citing a Periodical Article

• Citing Manuscript Collections

Is It a Journal or Magazine?

The Chicago Manual of Style uses the word journal to mean scholarly or professional serial publications, such as a monthly or quarterly publications. A few examples:

• American Historical Review
• Canadian Journal of History
• Gender & History
• Holocaust & Genocide Studies
• Journal of the History of Ideas
• The SAIS Review of International Affair

The Chicago Manual of Style says that, if you're not sure whether to treat a serial publication as a journal or a magazine, see if there's a volume number. If you can easily find the volume number, you should treat the publication as a journal. If you can't easily find the volume number, you should treat it as a magazine.

CMOS Shop Talk

From the chicago manual of style, announcing the chicago manual of style , 18th edition.

Have you heard the news? The 18th edition of The Chicago Manual of Style will be published in September! And . . . it’s YELLOW! It may seem hard to believe, but it’s been seven years since we published the 17th edition. The 18th edition will retain much of the core advice from the 17th while addressing an array of developments that directly affect how writers, editors, and publishers do their work.

Informed and shaped by a team of publishing professionals from both inside and outside the University of Chicago Press, the 18th edition will also reflect many of the suggestions, large and small, sent to us by our readers via the Q&A and other channels (including here at CMOS Shop Talk ).

The full list of changes won’t be available right away; we’re busy making the text of the book final. We’ll also be busy over the next several months as we once again turn the contents of the book into a website and conform it to an updated design.

Meanwhile, here are some of the highlights, most of which were revealed at the twenty-eighth annual conference of ACES: The Society for Editing , held in San Diego earlier this month:

• A city or other place of publication will no longer be required when citing books (e.g., Pantheon Books, 2024, not New York: Pantheon Books, 2024).
• In titles of works, prepositions of five or more letters will now be capitalized ( A Room with a View but Much Ado About Nothing ). And we will now refer to this as title case rather than headline style .
• An initial The in the title of a newspaper or other periodical that includes one (as on a masthead or cover) will now be retained in running text ( The New York Times and The American Naturalist but the Chicago Tribune and the American Journal of Sociology ).
• Words derived from proper nouns but used in a nonliteral sense will now be capitalized according to the first-listed entries at Merriam-Webster.com. For example, the word french in french fries will remain lowercase (as in previous editions), whereas French dressing will now get a capital F .
• The first word of a grammatically complete sentence following a colon will now get an initial capital.
• The terms ebook and esports will join email as exceptions to the rule for hyphenating e -terms.
• We’ll clarify our rules relative to compound modifiers that follow a noun to allow for certain hyphenated exceptions. For example, though a well-read student is well read (no change to our current rules), a first-rate editor will remain  first-rate after the noun. We’ll also clarify our rules for compound modifiers that may remain open before a noun, as the term guest room in guest room access .
• Our rules for en dashes will be expanded to include an additional category: The names of two or more people used as a compound modifier in certain terms will now be separated by an en dash rather than a hyphen; a hyphenated name, however, remains hyphenated ( Epstein–Barr virus , named for two people, but Albers-Schönberg disease , named for one person).
• The generic singular they will now be considered acceptable even in formal writing—for example, when the antecedent is an indefinite pronoun ( someone forgot their coat ) or when referring to a person whose gender is unknown or irrelevant ( will the driver of the yellow sedan please move their car ) or whose identity must be concealed ( the author wants their privacy protected ). These generic uses complement the referential singular they , which we covered for the first time in the last edition relative to people who identify with they / them pronouns.

We will also be including new sections on Indigenous languages and sources as well as expanded guidance on accessibility and a thoroughly revised section on inclusive language. Our coverage has also been updated with considerations related to fiction and other creative genres wherever applicable. These and other changes are designed to bring our advice up to date while addressing how readers use the Manual .

Preorders and Online Access

If you’d like to preorder the hardcover edition, you can do so now at the University of Chicago Press’s website . Subscribers to CMOS Online will get the new online edition automatically in September, and all CMOS Online subscriptions will include access to the full contents of both the 18th and 17th editions (access to the online 16th edition will no longer be available).

We’ll post more updates as the publication date nears, so stay tuned!

Akahoshi Ramen

Logan Square

Akahoshi Ramen might be the country’s highest-profile restaurant whose chef earned his bona fides on Reddit. The chef and owner, Mike Satinover, was studying in Japan when a bowl of miso ramen in Hokkaido drove him down a path of obsession. For the next decade, Mr. Satinover fastidiously published his ramen research and recipes on the internet forum Reddit, attracting a legion of fans, including established ramen chefs. He brought that viral momentum into this brick-and-mortar restaurant, where reservations are snapped up within minutes of release. Only four ramens are on the menu (the Sapporo-style miso and soupless tantanmen are superb), and Mr. Satinover’s craftsmanship is present in every bowl: Noodles, tare, broth and toppings are all meticulously prepared from scratch.

Al Bawadi Grill

Bridgeview and Niles

Middle Eastern

Walking into the sprawling Al Bawadi Grill transports you to a sumptuous Bedouin tent — ceilings draped with colorful fabric, the waft of grilled meats ever-present. Applying fire to meat has long been a crowd-pleasing tradition, and here, generous portions of kefta and shish kebabs, chicken, lamb and seafood are cooked over glowing mesquite hardwood. Even hunks of chicken breast stay remarkably juicy, the product of a grillmaster with keen eyes and gut feel. These meats (sure, there are plenty of non-animal options) arrive at the table on banquet-size platters, with enough hummus, rice and grilled vegetables to make leftovers the next day, and possibly the day after.

Asador Bastian

River North

Order steak at this Basque chophouse, and instead of choosing rib-eye or filet mignon, you pick which cow you’d like. Maybe it’s Holstein, dry-aged for 18 days and tasting of buttered popcorn. Or Galiciana, a breed raised for more than five years (unlike the 18 months for supermarket steaks), with ruby-red meat and a fat cap so nutty in flavor you’d swear it was Ibérico ham. Whichever of the rotating cattle on the menu you choose, the steaks grilled by Asador Bastian taste like no other beef in town. And they’re not even the best thing on the menu: Seafood dishes, like the creamy paella-esque arroz cremoso, whisk you from this stately townhouse restaurant in the Gallery district to the Bay of Biscay.

West Loop and River North

Mediterranean

When Avec opened in 2003 among the meatpacking houses of the West Loop, it won a reputation for breaking restaurant conventions. The dining space and kitchen were one narrow room, like a shipping container, necessitating communal bench seating with strangers. The food came on shareable small plates bearing ingredients from the Mediterranean, like harissa and labneh. Two decades on (with a larger second location in River North), a night at Avec still feels like attending Chicago’s coolest after-hours dinner party. Bacon-wrapped and chorizo-stuffed medjool dates remain an obligatory starter, as is the melty, luscious potato and salted cod brandade with garlic crostini. It’d be hard, though, to top the focaccia baked with ricotta, taleggio and truffle oil, a dish so luxurious it feels like a quesadilla for owners of superyachts. KEVIN PANG

Lincoln Park

Modern American

There’s an inherently magical quality to Lee Wolen’s cooking at Boka: the way he transforms beets into something resembling smoked beef tartare, or the exquisite stuffed chicken with impossibly perfect striations of skin, sausage and breast meat. And yet, Boka has always been the kind of refined, modern restaurant that you never feel you need an anniversary or birthday to visit — call it unfussy, relaxed or jeans-casual. Mr. Wolen’s dishes are almost too impressive for a neighborhood spot like Boka, which recently turned 20 years old. His honey-glazed roasted duck — yielding the most lacquered, gossamer-crisp, perfect bite of duck skin in Chicago — is pure culinary prestidigitation. KEVIN PANG

In the 1980s, many critics considered Le Francais — 30 miles north of Chicago in Wheeling, Ill. — the finest restaurant in the country. This was a time when high gastronomy in America was almost always associated with classical French cuisine, involving foie gras and pressed ducks served on bone china. Nowadays in Chicago, upscale non-bistro French cooking is rarely seen; Brindille is an exception. The cousins Carrie and Michael Nahabedian (she’s the chef, he’s the wine director) still believe in the power of a beluga caviar course with mother-of-pearl spoons, and that the potato reaches its ideal when puréed as Joël Robuchon would. Lemon madeleines are still baked to order here, and for $30 a waiter will rain down shavings of Périgord truffles on any course you desire. KEVIN PANG

Tasting Menu

After closing their three-Michelin-starred Grace in 2017, the chef Curtis Duffy and his partner, Michael Muser, nearly immediately set about expanding upon that restaurant’s vision. Now nearly four years old, Ever is a highly refined but gracious experience. The tables are spaced such that you dine on a private island, only vaguely aware of your neighbors and occasionally visited by installments from Mr. Duffy’s menu. His cooking — he was the chef de cuisine under Grant Achatz at Alinea — is meticulous and often surprising. A compressed carrot terrine shares a plate with flavors of black olive and pistachio. Hamachi is frozen with liquid nitrogen and then shaved into curls that thaw to a pleasing texture and are discreetly accented with a piquant sauce of finger limes. Even the butter service — presented in a stacked ribbon reminiscent of a Frank Gehry building — puts on a show. BRIAN GALLAGHER

Andersonville

Belgian Beer Bar

No bar in Chicago treats beer with the intense reverence Hopleaf does. For the 125 bottled Belgian beers offered (and another 62 beers on tap), the bar stocks 87 glasses of varying sizes and shapes that best express how each beer should be served. A tall fluted glass, for example, shows off the colors of a fruit lambic. That level of devotion has made Hopleaf, 32 years in Andersonville, a national monument for beer geeks. Even those who can’t tell a dubbel from a saison have a reason to come. The Belgian-inspired food menu features the hearty likes of sausage plates, rabbit confit and steak frites. Naturally, you have a choice of which beer the mussels are cooked in: witbier or lambic. KEVIN PANG

Johnnie’s Beef

Elmwood Park

Italian Beef

Italian beef is a Chicago sandwich born of poverty. A century ago, Neapolitan immigrants looking to feed a crowd roasted a flavorless hunk of meat (often bottom round) with heavy seasoning, shaved it thin and piled it sopping-wet into a roll. The sandwich is topped with a spicy bricolage of pickled vegetables called giardiniera. It wasn’t well known outside the city like deep-dish pizza or Chicago hot dogs, but that changed when the FX show “The Bear” romanticized the Italian beef into a culinary objet d’art. For Chicagoans, it remains an Everyman sandwich, a beautiful mess of bread and garlicked beef that resists highfalutin treatments. Johnnie’s Beef has operated in Elmwood Park since 1961; standing in line here, ordering a “beef-hot-dipped,” and eating over the hood of your car remains an indelible Chicago experience. KEVIN PANG

East Ukrainian Village

To eat at Kasama is to experience the seamless blending of the talents of the husband-and-wife team Genie Kwon and Timothy Flores. Ms. Kwon, a pastry chef who worked at Eleven Madison Park in New York and Flour Bakery & Cafe in Boston, puts out delicate, inventive treats, including a ham-and-cheese Danish like none you’ve tasted, replete with raclette and topped with dainty shavings of serrano ham. Mr. Flores’s Filipino food, which includes staples like lumpia and adobo, is unpretentious and soul-warming. Try his excellent take on a Chicago-style Italian combo sandwich, made with longaniza. For a more high-end experience, the restaurant offers a tasting menu in the evening. PRIYA KRISHNA

Kim’s Uncle Pizza

Tavern-style Pizza

Chicagoans eat deep-dish pizza only on special occasions. The more frequent choice is tavern-style, a thin-crust pie typically topped with sausage and a dash of oregano, then cut into squares. Tavern-style pizzerias tend to be family-run, with recipes that stay unchanged over many decades. At Kim’s Uncle Pizza, three young pizza entrepreneurs opted to tackle tavern pies, applying modern and unconventional techniques like fermenting the dough for a whole week. The result? The Platonic ideal of Chicago tavern-style pizza: crackly crust throughout (even the center squares), deeply flavorful tomato sauce, juicy nubs of spiced Italian sausage. What makes this pie even more desirable is how hard it is to score one, as this shoe-box-size operation usually sells out on weekends by 5:30 p.m. KEVIN PANG

Twenty-five years on, Lula Cafe remains as confounding to categorize as ever. The menu reads like roll call at the United Nations: soups from Indonesia, chickpea tagines, French omelets and a bucatini dish by way of Greece, pairing brown butter with feta and cinnamon. In cross-pollinating ingredients from different parts of the world, often together on one plate, the chef Jason Hammel is arguably a key influence for Chicago cooks today. Lula Cafe can claim to other firsts: It called Logan Square home a full decade before it became a desirable dining neighborhood, and was among the earliest Chicago restaurants to adopt a farm-to-table approach, showcasing ingredients from local purveyors as a selling point. The best way to describe Lula Cafe? It serves Lula Cafe food. KEVIN PANG

Maxwells Trading

Eclectic, Global

Reservation sites require that restaurants label themselves with a particular cuisine. The chef of Maxwells Trading, Erling Wu-Bower, begrudgingly agreed to “contemporary American,” but he’d like to make clear that he despises the term. His mother is Chinese, his father Creole. The parents of the executive chef, Chris Jung, are Korean. Both chefs grew up in large melting-pot cities, equally comfortable picking up food with chopsticks as with Ethiopian injera. Maxwells Trading is unconstrained by pithy labels — “city food by city kids,” Mr. Wu-Bower said — which makes a dish like French onion dip with Chinese scallion pancakes both unexpected and obvious. Peruvian and Thai flavors converge in a striped bass ceviche with lemongrass and fermented chile paste. The restaurant feels very 2024, a reflection of the borders-erasing cultural gumbo that Chicago has become. KEVIN PANG

Mi Tocaya Antojeria

The organizing principle here is to treat Mexican cooking as a medium for storytelling. The chef Diana Dávila’s printed menu lists dishes and prices, of course, but it’s also where she often adds a few lines of narrative context. You’d learn that mole de novia, a Oaxacan white sauce made with pine nuts, is served to brides on their wedding days. You might be surprised to find a steak burrito on the menu, until you learn that it’s a homage to the thousands of burritos Ms. Dávila made at her parents’ restaurant (and it’s a fabulous steak burrito). Suffusing food with her stories somehow makes Ms. Dávila’s polished and gorgeous cooking taste even better. KEVIN PANG

Of the Chicago restaurants pushing Italian cooking beyond the domain of antipasto salads and eggplant Parmesans, Monteverde might be the most popular in town. For one, pasta is treated here as a spectator sport: Perched on a platform behind the bar are two nonnas who lovingly knead and shape dough, visible to diners via overhead mirrors, like live-action Pasta Grannies . From there pasta is handed off to the chef, Sarah Grueneberg, who interprets dishes in ways that are equal parts avant-garde and classic. Ms. Grueneberg can execute a chile oil-slick seafood arrabbiata charred in a scorching wok, or do something as simple as coaxing peak summer sweetness from a basic pomodoro sauce. KEVIN PANG

The chef Noah Sandoval is conducting an exercise in balance. After arriving for your meal in a gated cargo elevator, you will be ushered to an elegant bar for a one-on-one cocktail consultation. The dining room, where the Smiths are a regular on the sound system, is as much artist’s loft as food temple. The menu finds a similarly cosmopolitan level. You may get a buttery sablefish dolloped — that’s bigger than a dab, right? — with osetra caviar. Or a toasted brioche topped with a generous piping of foie gras and ornamented with anise hyssop. But they will be followed shortly by a serving of capellini that you might even call homey, if it weren’t showered in truffle shavings. BRIAN GALLAGHER

Shanghai Terrace

Near North Side

Though Chinese restaurants in Chicago span a wide landscape of regional cooking — Sichuan, Guangdong, Taiwan — nearly all are casual enough that you can walk in without a reservation. The one exception is Shanghai Terrace in the Peninsula hotel, overlooking opulent Michigan Avenue (with prices to match). A high-end chain based in Hong Kong, the Peninsula imported to Chicago a style of Chinese luxury dining rarely seen outside Asia. The chef Elmo Han’s shumai emerge from the bamboo steamer as ornate as jewel boxes, each dumpling topped with a different color of tobiko. Fried rice studded with Wagyu beef and taro elevates a humble dish to the realm of five-star exquisiteness. That Shanghai Terrace’s menu features a dedicated section for abalone signals the lavishness diners should expect. KEVIN PANG

Norwood Park and Wheeling

In a city where the components of its hot dog are unyielding and sacrosanct, Superdawg — a happy little drive-in halfway between downtown and O’Hare — serves one of the city’s finest Chicago dogs, even if it’s technically not a Chicago dog. Traditional interpretations call for a beef wiener nestled in a poppy-seed bun with mustard, diced onions, neon green relish, sport peppers, red tomato slices, celery salt and a dill-pickle spear. Though Superdawg subs out the red tomatoes for a pickled green tomato wedge, Chicago dog purists tend to overlook this discrepancy. Is there another hot-dog stand frozen in 1950s charm, where two 12-foot wiener statues — sausage-pomorphized versions of the original owners Maurie and Flaurie Berman — perpetually stand guard?

This former food-hall stand serving fare from Kerala, a state on the southwestern coast of India, has found a larger home for its loud flavors, courtesy of the owners Margaret Pak and Vinod Kalathil. Everything here, down to the stainless-steel plates the food is served on, feels home style. Expect fish fries, yogurt rice and coconutty curries whose remnants you’ll eagerly sop up with appam, lacy domes made of rice and coconut. Even the more playful dishes, like Tater Tots dusted with chaat masala, feel like clever snacks devised in a pinch by an enterprising home cook. PRIYA KRISHNA

The Duck Inn

Kevin Hickey’s great-grandmother once owned a place called the Duck Inn in the South Side neighborhood of Bridgeport, where he grew up. After a few decades cooking for the Four Seasons hotel chain, Mr. Hickey came home to Bridgeport to resurrect his family restaurant. The Duck Inn reopened in 2014 in a pre-Prohibition corner tavern surrounded by bungalows, and it’s safe to say there’s no restaurant of this ambition for many blocks in any direction. Mr. Hickey’s time in the luxury-hotel business is evident in his dishes, none more so than a rotisserie duck with a salad dressed in its jus, served dramatically atop a chopping block. And his fine-dining pedigree shows up in other surprising ways: Mr. Hickey’s Chicago dog features a housemade sausage made with duck fat, and an Italian beef with luscious shavings of prime rib.

The Loyalist

As the talk of the town centers on Smyth, which received its third Michelin star last year, its sibling restaurant the Loyalist continues to operate in its shadow, quite literally. Karen Urie and John Shields’s subterranean brasserie shows that dinner omelets, anchovy toasts and trout Grenobloise have a place in Chicago, especially if presented with the elegant touches you’d find one flight upstairs at Smyth. The Loyalist has acquired a reputation as the gateway restaurant to the Shields’s culinary sensibility, and it doesn’t hurt that it serves what might be the city’s most acclaimed cheeseburger: griddled patties, onion aioli, charred onions, double cheese and a Martin’s sesame seed bun toasted golden.

Tortas Frontera

O’Hare International Airport

Mexican Sandwiches

One could experience the Mexican cooking of Rick Bayless, one of Chicago’s most famous chefs, a number of ways: with ceviche and margaritas at his festive flagship Frontera Grill, the quiet artistry of Topolobampo, or via a flight of rare mezcal at Bar Sótano. But his most expectations-defying restaurant is Tortas Frontera, inside the culinary hinterland that is O’Hare International Airport. Why suffer through a stale turkey sandwich made last Wednesday when there’s freshly griddled choriqueso, an audibly crunchy sandwich of oozy Jack cheese, chorizo and avocado? Or a bowl of tortilla soup, the very recipe served on nearly every table at Frontera Grill? Close your eyes and forget that you’re awaiting boarding group 7. KEVIN PANG

Uncle John’s Bar-B-Que

South Side Chicago Barbecue

South Side Chicago barbecue is a singular style of smoking meats, brought north during the Great Migration by Black pitmasters from the Mississippi Delta. Pork hot links and rib tips, the often-discarded knobby end of the spare rib, get cooked inside a plexiglass aquarium smoker. Unlike, say, brisket that smokes untouched for hours, Chicago barbecue requires constant monitoring; pitmasters spray down the fire with a hose to control temperature and steam. This explains why the number of Chicago pitmasters has dwindled to a handful. Aja Kennebrew, thankfully, is keeping the tradition alive. Taking over recently from her retired father, Garry Kennebrew, she has kept her family’s succulent rib tips as appealingly crusty and mahogany as ever, while adding smoked turkey to her menu.

Hyde Park, bordering Lake Michigan on the city’s South Side, has for years tried and failed to establish a destination restaurant worth venturing from downtown, a place that doesn’t just cater to students from the University of Chicago. Virtue changed everything. Opened by the James Beard award-winner Erick Williams and fronted by the chef Damaar Brown, Virtue’s sophisticated approach to Southern foodways draws huge crowds, who come for the deeply dark and deeply flavorful gumbo, or the exquisitely blackened catfish with barbecued carrots. Given that the South Side is a historically important destination of the Great Migration, Virtue’s success in championing the cooking of the African American diaspora cannot be overstated or overcelebrated.

The name of a restaurant says a lot, and Warlord conjures a place that is loud and intense, lit two shades above total darkness. You expect a menacing wood hearth radiating fire from the open kitchen. This Avondale hot spot checks those boxes. It’s near-impossible to get in (they don’t take reservations), and in its first year has established itself as one of Chicago’s most thrilling and audacious restaurants. Some menu items read like transcripts from a fever dream, yet turn out unexpectedly brilliant — Bavarian cream doughnuts draped with sea urchin, a mocktail of gochujang and coconut milk with black sesame rimmed around the glass. But the restaurant’s mastery of the hearth is what consistently wows; the dry-aged rib-eye with house-fermented Worcestershire sauce is magnificent. Warlord, all culinary fire and brimstone, totally rules. KEVIN PANG

6 Common Leadership Styles — and How to Decide Which to Use When

• Rebecca Knight

Being a great leader means recognizing that different circumstances call for different approaches.

Research suggests that the most effective leaders adapt their style to different circumstances — be it a change in setting, a shift in organizational dynamics, or a turn in the business cycle. But what if you feel like you’re not equipped to take on a new and different leadership style — let alone more than one? In this article, the author outlines the six leadership styles Daniel Goleman first introduced in his 2000 HBR article, “Leadership That Gets Results,” and explains when to use each one. The good news is that personality is not destiny. Even if you’re naturally introverted or you tend to be driven by data and analysis rather than emotion, you can still learn how to adapt different leadership styles to organize, motivate, and direct your team.

Much has been written about common leadership styles and how to identify the right style for you, whether it’s transactional or transformational, bureaucratic or laissez-faire. But according to Daniel Goleman, a psychologist best known for his work on emotional intelligence, “Being a great leader means recognizing that different circumstances may call for different approaches.”
