(Crain's) — The City of Big Shoulders can now add "Big Restaurant Tabs" to its billing, as half of the nation's 10 most expensive restaurants are in Chicago.

Alinea, Charlie Trotter's, Tru, Les Nomades and Everest all landed in the top 10, according to an analysis by Bundle.com, an online aggregator of spending data. The other five priciest restaurants are either in California (3) or New York (2).

Bundle ranked the 25 most expensive restaurants in the nation based on average check size. The company looked at credit card transactions from Citi, government data and other third-party information to compile its results.
