"The trajectory of chef Joe Fontelera, previously the culinary engine behind sushi hit Arami, has gripped Chicago’s culinary scene since his 2020 launch of Boonie Foods, a Filipino American stall inside Revival Food Hall. A rare pandemic success story, the stall closed two years later to make way for Boonie’s, Fontelera’s stand-alone restaurant in Lincoln Square where he imbues his family history into a menu of joyful Fil-Am favorites for dinner and weekend lunch." - Eater Staff, Ashok Selvam
