"A pair of veteran chefs who met at New York’s Gramercy Tavern have taken over the Nookies Too space hoping to give Lincoln Park the ultimate neighborhood restaurant. John’s Food and Wine is about simple, tasty cooking. While Nookies was a diner, John’s is focused a little bit more on hospitality and ingredients, bringing a farm-to-table ethos to the room. The chefs and coowners also have another unifying bond: their fathers are both named John. Look for an October opening." - Ashok Selvam
