"Beyond music lovers, the venues’ appeal eventually spread and they began popping up in New York and LA. DMK Restaurants sought to bring a listening room to Chicago and secured a downtown space inside the historic Railway Exchange Building, which was built in 1904 and designed by fabled urban planner Daniel Burnham. In late-June, DMK unveiled the first phase of a multi-pronged project. The Exchange’s Listening Room is a 50-seat restaurant with food from Brian Huston, a chef who earned a James Beard Foundation Award nomination in 2015 for his work at the since-shuttered Boltwood in suburban Evanston." - Ashok Selvam
