If you’ve tasted the steak and pasta at Johnny’s Italian Steakhouse (4751 Owen Ayres Court, Eau Claire), you should know that the tantalizing flavors created there are from the regionally renowned chef (and three-time winner) Shawn Wamsley. Anthony Chavez’s unique creations at his Live Great Food Truck keep customers wanting more. Guy Logan is the mastermind behind the upscale dishes at Houligans Steak & Seafood Pub (415 S. Barstow St., Eau Claire). — Briana Novacek
