After Grace’s and Yugen’s Closures, Restaurant Owner Tries Latin Fusion in West Loop | Eater Chicago

"I was shocked when the lauded Japanese restaurant in the West Loop suddenly closed just over six months ago; under owner Michael Olszewski it had become an upscale spot led by chef Mari Katsumura, earned national acclaim and a Michelin star in 2020, and even pivoted during the pandemic with playful moves like a grab-and-go market modeled after Japanese convenience stores and a tiki-inspired patio menu. Katsumura resigned in May without publicly explaining the split, and several former staff told me the closure felt similar to the earlier demise of Grace due to reported disagreements between owner and staff." - Naomi Waxman
