"Projected opening: February 6. A 7,000-square-foot space with seating for 150 set in a 100-year-old building designed by Anne Faherty of Chicago-based Faherty Interiors. Chef Joseph VanWagner — whose résumé includes stints at the shuttered Blackbird and Alinea in Chicago and at Daniel in New York City — is helming the project, joined by pastry chef Ben Robison (formerly of Le Suprême, Freya, and the now-closed Bacco Ristorante) and sommelier Taylor Schmidt Johnson (Royce Detroit, Michael Symon's Roast). The focus will be to source as many seasonal ingredients as possible from local farms and to cook using a wood-fired oven." - Serena Maria Daniels
