Back by popular demand, restaurant listings have returned to the pages of Chicago magazine<\/a> \u2014 but now they\u2019re running only twice a year.<\/p>\n

A top-to-bottom redesign<\/a> in 2013 eliminated the longtime feature from the monthly print publication. While the full capsule reviews of nearly 200 city and suburban eateries continued to appear in the magazine\u2019s tablet version and online, <\/a>print readers were served only a few new reviews along with updates and additions each month.<\/p>\n

The move, which was attributed to reduced page counts and a push to the digital format, proved unpalatable to many subscribers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe received feedback from quite a few readers saying that they do not use the Internet and that they therefore wanted the full listings back in print,\" said Chicago editor in chief Beth Fenner. \u201cSo we decided to reinstate the full listings twice a year -- in May and in November.\u201d<\/p>\n

The decision to restore the restaurant reviews, which became effective with the May 2014 issue, coincided with the return of the monthly cultural events listings, another casualty of the redesign.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe challenge for all magazines today is to serve readers as effectively as they can while operating within the realities of today's publishing environment,\u201d Fenner added. \u201cWe'll continue to listen to readers to help us get the balance right. As always, we welcome their suggestions, ideas, and feedback.\u201d<\/p>\n
