I don't see we've seen much, if any, economic impact of this other than on the award week itself. I'm still holding out hope that it "convinces" some of the wealthier restaurateurs from other cities to open up places in Chicago once (Still hoping for a David Chang restaurant).
Beat out San Francisco and New Orleans. Solidifies Chicago's place on the country's and world's stage as far as premiere food cities go though. Doesn't hurt reputation wise one bit.
