The honor, bestowed annually on the nation\u2019s finest restaurants, comes about 16 months after chef and owner Jake Potashnick opened Feld<\/a> at 2018 W. Chicago Ave., a process he chronicled, diary-style, on TikTok<\/a>, building buzz and an audience well in advance of the opening.<\/p>\n \u201cIt may be in the city \u2014 Chicago\u2019s Ukrainian Village neighborhood, to be specific \u2014 but Feld is focused on the farm, sourcing most products from within a four-hour radius,\u201d reads the Michelin Guide\u2019s entry for Feld.<\/p>\n Potashnick had reason for an extra celebratory toast Tuesday: Feld was also named a Michelin \u201cGreen Star\u201d in recognition of its sustainability practices, along with Daisies<\/a> in Logan Square.<\/p>\n Kasama chefs\u00a0Tim Flores and Genie Kwon<\/a> can relate to Potashnick\u2019s Michelin newcomer status.\u00a0<\/p>\n The couple earned their first star in 2022<\/a>, the first Filipino restaurant in the United States to do so. On Tuesday, they learned their popular bakery by day, restaurant by night had been elevated to two stars. Just a few weeks ago, Flores and Kwon were in the Philippines<\/a>, cooking at a gala to celebrate the launch of the Michelin Guide in that country.<\/p>\n Their East Ukrainian Village restaurant joins Ever<\/a> and Oriole<\/a> in the West Loop and Alinea<\/a> in Lincoln Park as Chicago\u2019s two-Michelin star establishments.<\/p>\n For Alinea \u2014 arguably Chicago\u2019s most famous and acclaimed restaurant \u2014 \u00a0two stars is somewhat unfamiliar territory. It has had three Michelin stars since 2010. Last week, chef Grant Achatz got ahead of the official Michelin announcement<\/a>, posting about his 20-year-old restaurant\u2019s \u201cdemotion\u201d from three stars to two while offering congratulations to this year\u2019s winners.<\/p>\n Smyth<\/a> in the West Loop, owned by another chef couple, Karen Urie Shields and John Shields, is Chicago\u2019s only three-Michelin starred restaurant.<\/p>\n \u201cAn honor as humbling as ever,\u201d a post on Smyth\u2019s Instagram<\/a> said Tuesday night.<\/p>\n Here are Chicago\u2019s 2025 Michelin stars.<\/strong><\/p>\n Three stars<\/strong> Two stars<\/strong> One star<\/strong> Listen to the Block Club Chicago podcast:<\/strong><\/p>\n \t![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/No-Place-Like-Kasama-Key-Still2.jpg\")
