With the dipping temperatures, the restaurant industry is anticipating an equal dip in patronage and the economic fallout is leaving them with an impossible decision\u2014remain open in constant unknown or close altogether for the winter.<\/p>\n<p>A few of the city&#8217;s famous restaurants are opting for the latter, as restaurants such as <a href=\"https:\/\/elskerestaurant.com\/\">Elske<\/a> in West Loop, <a href=\"https:\/\/chicago.politanrow.com\/\">Politon Row<\/a> in Fulton Market, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.doveschicago.com\/\">Dove&#8217;s Luncheonette<\/a> in Wicker Park are all closing their doors for the winter.<\/p>\n<p>Elske, a <a href=\"https:\/\/guide.michelin.com\/us\/en\/illinois\/chicago\/restaurant\/elske\">one Michelin star restaurant<\/a> in Chicago, resides at the west end of the Randolph corridor that houses some of the city&#8217;s most stunning restaurants. Its owners, Anna and David Posey, are well known throughout the Chicago culinary community and are now the force behind the city&#8217;s top restaurant featuring Danish food.<\/p>\n<p>They also were featured on an episode of Munchies Chefs Night Out that is delightfully entertaining.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Chicago&#039;s Best Secret Burger, Wings, and 24 Hour Pork Chop Sandwiches - Chef&#039;s Night Out: Elske\" width=\"1278\" height=\"719\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fFSVXsEuL7U?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Dove&#8217;s Lunchonette is best known for its Tex-Mex flare in an old school diner setting nestled underneath the Damen Blue Line stop, while Politan Row owns a significant piece of real estate attached to the McDonald&#8217;s HQ in Fulton Market. <a href=\"https:\/\/ballastpoint.com\/location\/chicago\/\">Ballast Point&#8217;s<\/a> Chicago brewery will also be closing down for the winter.<\/p>\n<p>These four restaurants in Chicago are hardly the outsiders. In fact, restaurant and bar closures have become all too close to the norm for a spattering of reasons. Elske&#8217;s owners cited their conscious decision to close for the winter is to mitigate risk to patrons and staffers while also saving a bit of money in the restaurants down season.<\/p>\n<p>Some owners aren&#8217;t as fortunate as Elske and others. Dozens of restaurants have been forced to shut down indefinitely because it&#8217;s no longer tenable to remain open. The economic fallout was simply too much and the only option remaining was to close doors.
