"Carlos Gaytán knew critical success at his former West Town restaurant Mexique, where in 2013 he became the first Mexico-born chef to earn a Michelin star. But after he closed it in May 2018, Gaytán vowed to return to the Chicago restaurant world with a bigger and better project. The result of that promise is his River North triple threat: a la carte restaurant Tzuco, joined by the first U.S. location of all-day bakery Panango and, soon, his tasting menu room, Tales of Carlos Gaytán. The chef refers to his new business complex as “Mexique on steroids.”" - Daniel Gerzina
