Boltwood Closes in Evanston After Nearly Five Years | Eater Chicago

"I learned that the acclaimed suburban restaurant opened by Brian Huston, the inaugural chef de cuisine at the Publican, has closed its doors after four years and seven months at 804 Davis Street in Evanston. Huston left One Off Hospitality Group and Fulton Market in 2014 to open his own restaurant and quickly wowed critics; his partner Chrissy Prieto—who confirmed the news and wrote, "It has been a pleasure to serve the Evanston community for the past four years and seven months"—said they decided not to renew the lease. Huston, an Evanston native, had previously worked with Paul Kahan at Avec and Blackbird, and the shutter is described as a blow to Evanston’s restaurant scene and an unwelcome bit of news to start 2019." - Ashok Selvam
