When commander-in-chief Barack Obama takes First Lady Michelle out on the town in the Windy City, his chef of choice is Tony Mantuano.

Chef Mantuano's flagship restaurant, Spiaggia, is the only four-star Italian restaurant in Chicago. Simple flavors and fresh ingredients are what keeps this Magnificent Mile destination a Chicago classic.

We asked Chef Mantuano where he likes to eat, drink and shop in Chicago and to share one of his favorite easy to prepare recipes:

STEAK TAGLIATA WITH ARUGULA

"Tagliata means sliced in Italian and denotes the most popular way of serving steak in Tuscany. Drizzled with the finest olive oil which makes a sauce with the warm meat juices."
