The restaurant industry is the #1 private employer in the United States, and two Bronzeville innovators are becoming the engine for the next generation of hospitality leaders. In this episode, David Manilow unpacks the creative visions of Eric Williams and Cecilia Cuff -- all centered around inventing and sharing a meal. Plus, in an era of online ordering, learn about a Lincoln Park chicken shack that's thriving with no phone or internet. David also visits with Ally Marotti from the Crain's newsroom about the changing Rush Street dining scene.
David's journey with food takes us to Brigtsen's in New Orleans, and then back home to Red Light Chicken on Sheffield. Ally Marotti has been tracking changes around Chicago's 'viagra triangle' -- including Tavern on Rush. Our chat with Eric & Cecilia centered around Bronzeville Winery and The Silver Room.
