"Son of a Butcher, originally opened in 2015, is closing after four years in Logan Square. Operator and chef Rick Rodriguez has been managing the restaurant for the past three years, renaming it Son of a Butcher by WHISK. The restaurant specializes in grilled meats, with standout dishes like smoked chicken wings. Despite its neighborhood charm and popularity, it faced challenges such as liquor license renewal issues and financial burdens from high credit card fees. The restaurant will close on Sunday night, with Rodriguez looking to focus on Whisk and considering opening a new restaurant in suburban Evanston later this year." - Ashok Selvam
