The Purple Pig’s Founding Chef Departs After 15 Years - Eater Chicago

"Jimmy Bannos Jr.'s last day at The Purple Pig ended with little fanfare as the chef sold his stake in the Loop restaurant. As of Wednesday, October 23, Bannos Jr. is no longer involved in the restaurant he co-founded 15 years ago. The Purple Pig will continue without Bannos Jr., who says this was his choice and “it was time to move on,” and that he needs to concentrate on his new Greek restaurant in Northwest Suburban Niles." - Ashok Selvam
