Parachute, Chicago’s Pioneering Modern Korean Restaurant, Is Closing After a Decade - Eater Chicago
"Parachute, a pioneer that’s hailed as one of the best modern Korean restaurants in America, is closing its doors. The restaurant served as a vehicle for chef Beverly Kim to channel her family’s heritage into something Chicago has never seen before. In May 2014, Kim and her husband chef Johnny Clark opened a destination-worthy restaurant on a quiet stretch of Elston, one of the first to bring upscale dining to Avondale. Parachute earned a Michelin star from 2014 to 2021. In 2019, Kim and Clark won the James Beard Award for Best Chef: Great Lakes." - Ashok Selvam
