It's time to eat Chicago! And what a better selection for us to choose from than the award winning Boka Restaurant Group!  Ioanna and I have been to many of their restaurants in Chicagoland and always celebrate with them on New Year’s Eve! Examples include Boka, Swift and Sons, Girl and The Goat, and more. Founded by Rob Katz and Kevin Boehm in 2002, Boka Restaurant Group is one of the premier chef-driven restaurant groups in the country. Anchored by partnerships with several of America's great chefs, Boka offers distinct culinary experiences, each of them individually crafted and conceptually unique. You'll feel it in the ambience of their spaces and you'll taste it in the food and drinks. Kevin joined us to discuss the history of their group, what some of their restaurants have in store for 2024 & beyond, and why they value Chicago so much as a place for fine food and beverage. Plus, Kevin pitches his upcoming book “The Bottomless Cup” which comes out in 2025 with Abrams Press! Kevin was even featured on FX’s “The Bear” as he is one of Chicago’s greatest foodtrepreneurs! This is a must listen episode!We end with rapid fire, learning about Kevin’s favorite meal, neighborhood in Chicago, and one non-Boka restaurant he’s enjoying this summer!  FOLLOW BOKA: https://www.instagram.com/bokachicago/?hl=enFOLLOW KEVIN: https://www.instagram.com/kevinboehmboka/?hl=enRESERVATIONS & RESTAURANTS: https://www.bokagrp.com
