(FORTUNE Magazine) – If you happen to be a fan of the fireplace, you'll be pleased to learn that one of the latest restaurant trends is the wood-fired oven, in which log-fed flames flavor everything from pizzas to pan roasts. These ovens, often the centerpiece of the room, infuse both the food and the ambiance with an autumnal smokiness. --Ronald B. Lieber Food Decor Service Cost CHICAGO Wildfire 19 21 19 $28 159 W.
