All of Chicago’s Past James Beard Award Winners | Eater Chicago
"The Mediterranean-inspired wine bar from One Off Hospitality Group has been a runaway hit since day one due in large part to the efforts of Koren Grieveson. She helped open the hugely popular spot and developed the small plates menu full of crowd-pleasers such as chorizo-stuffed dates, housemade focaccia, and slow-roasted pork shoulder. Grieveson left the company for New York in 2012, but Avec hasn’t missed a beat under its new leadership. In 2021, Avec opened a second location in River North in the former home of One Off’s Beard Award-winning Pacific Standard Time; the kitchen is now run by Dylan Patel." - Naomi Waxman
