Tour Maxwells Trading, Now Open in the West Loop
Briefly

['Wu-Bower, who studied philosophy, takes a deliberate and honest approach with his menu, a collaboration with chef Chris Jung (Momotaro). The dishes (from a bruleed Japanese eggplant served with a flatbread that Wu-Bower compares to a naan-scallion pancake hybrid; to a pork belly dish cooked in a claypot with sushi rice) are unique and thoughtful. Wu-Bower wants to celebrate the immigrant communities that shaped him, like where he grew up in Uptown along Argyle (home to a stretch of Vietnamese restaurants), and Chinatown on Chicago's South Side.']
['The restaurant is a collaboration with the Roof Crop, an organization started 11 years ago by Tracy Boychuk. The organization remains dedicated to preserving green spaces in urban areas and maintains a number of bee hives around the city. One will be located on Maxwells Trading's roof where herbs and vegetables will also grow for Wu-Bower's menu.']
