"Potashnick and his team were honored Tuesday, November 18, during Michelin's Northeast Cities awards ceremony in Philadelphia. It marks a striking turnaround for a restaurant that debuted to mixed reactions from critics and diners. Feld offers a 20-plus course menu built around local and seasonal ingredients, a commitment that sealed its Michelin Green Star designation for leadership in sustainable dining."
""Every decision that we've made has been to protect our team and ensure their job security," Kwon said on stage. "I can't even believe we're here. It's so cool." Alinea, the molecular gastronomy icon, was downgraded to two stars in this year's guide, a development the restaurant and Michelin revealed in advance last week. This leaves Smyth as the city's sole three-starred restaurant."
Feld, in its second year, earned both a Michelin Star and a Michelin Green Star in the 2025 Michelin Guide after 16 months under chef-owner Jacob Potashnick. The restaurant's 20-plus course menu emphasizes local, seasonal ingredients and sustained practices that secured the Green Star designation. Honors were presented on November 18 at Michelin's Northeast Cities awards in Philadelphia. Chicago has 20 Michelin-starred restaurants in 2025, up from 19 in 2024. Kasama gained a second star. Alinea was downgraded to two stars, leaving Smyth as the city's only three-starred restaurant. Amy Cordell won the Michelin Service Award.
