CRAVING: Fox and Obel
LOCATION: Illinois and McClurg in Streeterville, Chicago
WHY: The closest thing that Chicago has to Harrod's from London. This single location store and restaurant is any foodie's paradise. The gourmet grocery store includes fresh fish and seafood, a wall of imported olive oils and spices, a bakery and fresh, foreign cheeses. There is also a cafe in the back with delicious, fresh made sandwiches, salads and gourmet entrees that are all perfect for lunch.
FAVORITE: Homemade cinnamon rolls and the entire line of Frontera Grill restaurant products. The store is far too big and amazing to choose just one.
SPLURGE: A bar with buckets of imported chocolates, candies and coffee is right in the center of the store, luring in customers mid-way through their shopping experience. The dark chocolate is the best.
