"On the Northwest Side in Portage Park, a delivery- and carryout-focused spot at 5044 W. Montrose near the Jefferson Park border will center on a fun, fast, casual approach with just 12 seats and a small patio, offering affordable eats meant to be enjoyed more than once a week; the menu highlights halal fried chicken and tacos, they won’t serve alcohol, and Frontier mixologist Edgar Garcia is creating agua frescas. Brian Jupiter — a New Orleans native and 2019 James Beard semifinalist for Best Chef: Great Lakes — is partnering with Frontier chef de cuisine Azazi Morsi on the project, they plan to expand into catering in May, the restaurant is separate from Jupiter’s Pioneer Tavern Group, and it’s scheduled to open April 2." - Ashok Selvam
