"Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay will expand his Chicago area footprint this year with a new restaurant in suburban Naperville. The team plans to bring the third location of Ramsay’s Kitchen, an all-day restaurant with a menu of signature Ramsay dishes including pan-seared scallops and sticky toffee pudding, in spring 2023 to 39 W. Jefferson Avenue, according to a rep. Housed inside a former Oswald Pharmacy, a historic family-owned Naperville apothecary that dates back to 1875, Ramsay’s Kitchen aims to cultivate an upscale atmosphere with a theatrical open kitchen that allows patrons to watch chefs while they work. At more than 5,600 square feet, the restaurant will seat 160 between a bar and lounge space, a main dining room, two private dining sections, and a seasonal patio. Reps promise design details like custom millwork — a nod to the building’s former occupant — as well as original limestone from the abandoned local quarry that’s now Centennial Beach." - Naomi Waxman
