I grew up in NW Indiana just outside of Chicago. A graduate of Purdue University and Le Cordon Bleu Culinary Institute. Over 15 years of experience in the industry, started as a busboy and worked my way up through the ranks. Worked in a variety of different types of restaurants including Italian, Greek, BBQ, Cajun/Creole, Pizza, Butcher Shop.
With its sleek retro vibe that pays homage to The Second City’s rich history, 1959 Kitchen & Bar features a little something for everyone. Opened in March 2016, it emphasizes sustainable, certified humane, organic regional ingredients with the menu ranging from savory pub fare to more specialty dining options. Drink-wise, choose anything from the latest craft beers and cocktails to the Chicago staples
. Whether it’s a pre-show warm-up or post-show nightcap, 1959 is the perfect
complement to one of Chicago’s greatest treasures.
