Today we’re featuring Midwest hotspots that landed on Bon Appetit’s list of nominees for America’s Best New Restaurant.

The chefs at Travail never grew out of playing with their food, and the wildly inventive menu is proof of that. Right next door The Rookery whips up eccentric cocktails and small bites with similar flare.
