The only shining beacon of hope on the Chicago summer food festival scene isn't really at a food festival at all.
Plus: the best burger techniques, the best burger joint in America, and why Julia Child loved McDonald's.

We practically gave ourselves heart attacks last time MasterChef and Glee crossed paths, but luckily, we made it through last season of everyone's favorite Ryan Murphy musical comedy without any Gordon Ramsay, Graham Elliot, or Joe Bastianich cameos.

WHERE: GT Fish & Oyster, 531 N. Wells Street, Chicago
WHO: Executive Chef and Partner Giuseppe Tentori
WHAT: Cioppino, which the menu bills as having shrimp, mussels, clams, and sourdough — but we’re pretty sure there’s another crustaceous creature bobbing around in that tomato broth.
