"Located in a tucked-away River North spot shadowed by nearby skyscrapers (including the tower that wouldn’t be named), the restaurant is a partnership between Chef Junior Borges — who found success in Texas that led to James Beard recognition — and Nicholas Yanes. The food will skew Italian with plenty of global influences; this is the duo’s first restaurant in Chicago, and they’re aiming for a May debut." - Ashok Selvam
