A Pair of French Landmarks Reopen in Winnetka and Eight More Openings - Eater Chicago
"Kindred, an upscale new restaurant with an open-fire focused menu from Chicago hospitality veteran Michael Carroll, will open Saturday, May 14, in the western suburbs, according to a rep. It’s from Tom Trenta, the owner of live music venue Elmhurst Hall and local bar Ever Onward, and will feature dishes such as fire-grilled octopus (celery chimichurri, olives, romesco) and ratatouille cassoulet (smoked eggplant, summer squash, tomato, white beans). Until two years ago, Carroll was a co-owner of Band of Bohemia, the world’s first Michelin-starred brewpub, which temporarily closed in July 2020 after former employees made allegations that restaurant leadership fostered a toxic work environment while mishandling operations during the pandemic. At the time, Carroll and then-business partner Craig Sindelar denied many of the allegations. Band of Bohemia closed permanently three months later. Kindred, 119 N. York in Elmhurst, Open 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday." - Naomi Waxman
