"Molly Yeh is the bubbly personality behind the Food Network show Girl Meets Farm and the recently released cookbook Home is Where the Eggs Are. Now, Yeh is bringing her recipes to Bernie's, a new restaurant named after her daughter. The menu, which will soon expand to include dinner service, blends Midwestern flavors with some Scandinavian influence. Yeh also adds “a touch of Jewish flare,” to her menu, as she told Forbes. Think smorgasbords, whitefish toast, and halva walnut scones. This space was previously home to the restaurant Whitey’s, which was open for almost 100 years. Bernie’s will take on the historic location with three distinct concepts: one centered on carryout and counter service, one on table service, and one a market featuring Yeh’s favorite pantry ingredients and Bernie’s merch. For those obsessed with Yeh’s playful desserts, there will be a rotating pastry display, with the likes of sprinkle cake donuts and frosted almond cookie bars." - ByKate Kassin
