"The three-Michelin-starred restaurant Grace is noted as the previous workplace of Bree Schaffer, who now manages Lost Larson's front of house." - Ashok Selvam
"Previously a successful and highly rated restaurant helmed by celebrity chef Curtis Duffy, Grace suddenly closed last year amid a deteriorating chef/owner relationship that divided people and prompted blowback and rumors." - Ashok Selvam
"Once a three-Michelin-starred restaurant, Grace suddenly closed after a disagreement between the chef and ownership, leaving the Michelin-starred eatery in disarray before being reborn and replaced by Yugen." - Ashok Selvam
"A once-celebrated fine-dining restaurant on Randolph Street that closed in December 2017, a shuttering that many Chicagoans felt stung the local dining scene. It was known for chef Curtis Duffy’s posh, high-end tasting menus, and its sudden closure prompted concern about the future of fine dining in the city; the space has since been reinvented under a new chef and concept." - Ashok Selvam
"I describe the former Grace as the three‑Michelin‑starred restaurant where Curtis Duffy wowed diners for five years and whose 'epic demise' left many wondering who would dare follow Duffy’s footsteps given the tumultuous circumstances with the same ownership; Katsumura says it was important to 'acknowledge greatness' as a nod to Duffy while forging her own restaurant." - Ashok Selvam
