"One Off Hospitality’s Publican Quality Bread launched in 2014. Under the leadership of baker Greg Wade (Outstanding Baker, 2019), it runs bread programs for all of the group’s restaurants, including the Publican, Avec, and Dove’s Luncheonette. Its breads are also sold wholesale and served in more than 50 restaurants across Chicago. The James Beard Foundation nominated Wade for Outstanding Baker three times and he finally took home a win in 2019. Earlier this month, Wade and his team opened a bakery and small cafe in West Town. There’s also a suburban location in Oak Brook." - Naomi Waxman
