West Town Bakery To Open New Location, Cocktail Lounge Inside ACME Hotel Co.
Quietly— well, except when they were fighting with a certain former bakery partner— restaurant group owners Greg Mohr and Scott Weiner are assembling one of the more interesting portfolios of restaurant concepts in Chicago. Their first spot, the sports bar The Fifty/50 , may not have been anything unusual, but it was followed by a pizza place aiming to reproduce an obscure midwest pizza style ( Roots Handmade Pizza ), a farm to table restaurant which uses food from its own rooftop garden and only operates in growing season ( Homestead ), and West Town Bakery and Diner , which recently lured away Sixteen pastry chef Chris Teixeira to oversee its bakery program.Chef/Owner Growing up in blue-collar Lowell, Massachusetts, Abe's culinary beginning was heavily impacted by his Portuguese heritage and a strong Southeast Asian presence in his community. Beginning a professional cooking career at the age of 15, Abe gained knowledge of classic sensibilities early on. His understanding of French technique and refinement bloomed under the disciples of Fredy Giradet and Grey Kunz, from which he continued his classic training at the Culinary Institute of America, while also studying fusion techniques under Norman Van Aken. The next stage in Abe's career found him running Chez Asian Bistro in the Dominican Republic, melding traditional Southeast Asian styles with local ingredients, and then Augustine's at Fredericksburg Square in Virginia, where he became the youngest Chef to be awarded a Four Diamond Award by AAA.
