Michael Taus has left Duchamp, the Bucktown pub he helped launch in 2008, saying he needed to focus more on Zealous. Chicago Magazine reports it was a “a rare amicable split,” and that remaining partners, Nick Podesta and Jason Freiman, have already found a replacement. Allen Sternweiler, who was last seen at Harvest on Huron, has been brought in as executive chef. [Chicago Magazine]
