Description:
- Critically acclaimed Blackbird is home base for Executive Chef Paul Kahan, winner of the James Beard Award for Best Chef of the Midwest in 2004 and nominee for Outstanding Chef in 2007. Blackbird's principal partner, Donnie Madia, crafted a unique atmosphere of urban chic that earned the James Beard Award for Best Restaurant Design and Best Restaurant Design Graphics in 2004. Chef de Cuisine Mike Sheerin joined Kahan in the kitchen in 2006. Together they reinterpret classic recipes using simple, local, farm-fresh ingredients & cutting-edge culinary technology to create a menu both highly creative and utterly approachable. The premier pioneer West Loop restaurant, Blackbird's award-winning cuisine, high energy and precise service offer a modern approach to fine dining that has earned a place on Gourmet's 2004 list of the country's 50 Best Restaurants, an Ivy Award from Restaurants & Institutions and induction into the Nation's Restaurant News Fine Dining Hall of Fame.
