Snakes & Lattes Chicago

Cards Against Humanity Sells Chicago Board Game Cafe | Eater Chicago

"Now part of a Canadian mini-chain, Snakes & Lattes will take over the Chicago location and largely preserve the existing formula: game concierges will still teach customers how to play games inside the cafe’s vault, and the company says it won't tinker much with the current infrastructure. I noted that Snakes & Lattes runs three locations (including Toronto and Tempe), its parent Amfil Technologies is a publicly traded distributor with 35 years in the business and plans aggressive expansion, and CEO Ben Castanie has long coveted a Chicago presence; Amfil also emphasizes strict cleaning of games and adherence to public-health best practices as the cafes reopen. Chef Aaron McKay will remain involved and take a larger role as Snakes & Lattes’ vice president of food and beverage, while the local kitchen has hired Damian Sandoval as chef du cuisine." - Ashok Selvam
