- Squid ink pasta at Kinmont
Element Collective has been promising us chicken forever, but it looks like we’re getting fish first. The restaurant group behind Nellcote and Old Town Social keeps teasing us with Facebook pictures of the gay-friendly chicken sandwiches it’s been promising since Leghorn was first announced and I talked to them about it here, more than a year and a half ago. But it seems like it was easier to open a fancy fish restaurant than a little chicken stand, as Kinmont will beat it to opening on Saturday at 419 W. Superior, the longtime Zealous space. The restaurant—focused on sustainable fish, and with a retro fly-fishing theme—will be helmed by Duncan Biddulph, who was a Key Ingredient cheftestant at Rootstock way back when, showing that he knew his way around a fish’s private side even then. Here’s the menu.
• Chicago sports-talk figure Chet Coppock will be hanging out in the bar at Benny’s Chop House, hosting its Super Bowl 48 party with wingman Del Yates Jr., which let’s face it, is the perfect name for a wingman. Benny’s USDA prime burger will be $4.80 during the game.
• Frontier has smoked game meats (get it?) for pickup—but you have to order by today. Meats include turkey, duck, porchetta and more. Go here and look for the Super Bowl image to click on.
