"But thanks to anchoring venues like McCormick Place and Wintrust Arena ensuring regular visitors in need of convenient restaurants and catered event spaces, businesses south of Roosevelt and closer to Cermak might finally be gaining a foothold. Past 18th Street, places like Apolonia, Burger Point, Southern Chicago, Batters and Berries, Il Culaccino, and Momentum Coffee have been giving the neighborhood walkable culinary destinations, variety, and hope for the future."
"Brûlée is chef Emani Roberts's passion project. The Chicago native sharpened her cooking skills at Walt Disney World and then earned a reputation as a popular event chef, catering dinners and private events across Chicago. "My clients were like, 'When are you opening the brunch restaurant?'" says Roberts, who's been hunting down a space for three years. In January, Roberts had almost given up hope of finding something when she was approached by her realtor about a location."
Brûlée Chicago opens on Michigan Avenue on Thursday, November 6, offering creative breakfast and brunch dishes such as fried lobster tail–topped sweet potato waffles and brisket grilled cheeses. Chef Emani Roberts developed her skills at Walt Disney World and built a reputation as a sought-after event chef catering dinners and private events across Chicago. Roberts searched for a location for three years and nearly gave up before a realtor introduced the space in January. The restaurant sits near McCormick Place and Wintrust Arena, aiming to serve convention and hotel visitors while adding to South Loop dining options.
