Paul Kahan makes it lucky number 7

His seventh restaurant in Chicago, that is. His proven success at Chicago's individually, highly acclaimed spots include Blackbird, Avec, The Publican, Big Star, the Violet Hour, and new(er) Publican Quality Meat.  If you haven't been to one of these fine establishments you're either living under a rock or have a complete lack of creative bones in your body and thus do not nourish your soul.  Was that harsh? Sorry, but you're missing out.  Get familiar with Kahan's concepts and you'll be more than pleased. He's also a pretty influential Chicagoan.

The location for his new venture (no name yet) is spot-on as it's planned to be in the Sutton Hotel on Rush Street in the heart of the Viagra Triangle in the Gold Coast replacing the defunct Whiskey Bar and Grille. Immediate competitors include Morton's, Gibson's, Hugo's Frog Bar, and Carmine's; all meat-centric heavy-hitters in their own right but definitely lack the edge, excitement, and vision of Kahan's mastery.
