"Opening as the 100-seat restaurant inside the new Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana in Gary, Council Oak Steaks and Seafood will debut on Thursday, May 14 with Jason Hedin as its opening chef. Though a casino setting doesn’t fit the pandemic-friendly model of outdoor dining and social distancing, Hedin says he’s comfortable with the casino’s HEPA filters and state-of-the-art filtration system; Gary’s pandemic capacity rules mirror Chicago’s at a 50 percent limit per room." - Eater Staff
