Chef Phillip Foss designs the meal as a relaxed underground dinner party: the restaurant sits beneath his own home, with a single seating where all guests are served at the same time. The official address is 2419 W. 14th St.[^michelin2025] The guide describes the warehouse space as feeling most like a test kitchen, where guests can wander about, explore the pantry, and practically stand next to the chefs as they cook and plate; guests are encouraged to bring as much wine as they want. The cuisine is creative — perhaps a play on oysters Rockefeller, or a riff on banh mi and French dip. ## Dishes & Highlights - Opening: a shrimp cocktail croquette with shrimp snow that must be licked off the plate - Signature (never changes): French fries with potato leek soup and nitro-poached vanilla ice cream[^michelin2025] ## Honors The MICHELIN Guide Chicago 2023 listed EL Ideas as a one-star restaurant, with the official list giving the address as 2419 W. 14th St., Chicago, 60618. This records the historical 2023-edition star and does not necessarily reflect the restaurant's current rating.[^guide2023pdf] ## Practical Information - Address: 2419 W. 14th St., Chicago, IL 60608 - Hours: Thu & Sun 6:00 pm–8:00 pm, Fri–Sat 6:00 pm–11:00 pm; closed Mon–Wed - Phone: +1 312-226-8144 - Website: https://www.elideas.com/ - Price: $$$$ (per MICHELIN Guide) [^michelin2025]: MICHELIN Guide, “EL Ideas,” restaurant page, last reviewed 2025-11-18, https://guide.michelin.com/us/en/illinois/chicago_1174456/restaurant/el-ideas [^guide2023pdf]: MICHELIN Guide, “MICHELIN Guide 2023 - New York, Chicago and Washington - A new three-MICHELIN-Star restaurant,” linked PDF, pp. 3-5. /places/chicago-el-ideas.html en zh zh en restaurant 12 2026-11-11T03:05:21+08:00 当前版本 true /en/places/chicago-el-ideas/at/12.html en zh en place_kind Place kind Restaurant 1 50 1 1
