Chicago Business News reports that restaurateur Sandy Yu, of the now-shuttered Republic, is planning to open a place called Farmerie 58 in the old Republic space at 58 E. Ontario.
Farmerie 58 will be “an American restaurant with a sushi bar,” with an emphasis on local and organic ingredients, and the man in the kitchen will be William Alexander, formerly of The Dining Room at Kendall College.
Here’s something no one saw coming — and by no one, we mean no one: When we googled the restaurant name, the only result was CBN’s article itself. More info as we get it.
