Eater Chicago’s Most-Read Stories of 2024 | Eater Chicago

"The saga around this New American restaurant chain — which had locations in Arizona, California, and Chicago — illustrated how quickly success can unravel: ambitions to expand deflated after a very public business breakup followed by multiple bankruptcy filings and a trail of mistrust. It has since reopened in Bucktown but lost its Michelin Bib Gourmand ranking. David Pisor blamed COVID and rising expenses for closing the River North location after three years; he predicted reopening the space but ultimately filed for five bankruptcies while losing control of the chain, a remarkable fall for the co-founder of Maple & Ash." - Ashok Selvam
