Rodan - Chicago
The late-night, Asian-inspired hangout has grown up with aspirations of becoming a serious dining destination. They've acquired Corey Gillom, a former chef at Japonais, NoMI, The Slurping Turtle and Longman & Eagle, to oversee the menu. Expect meat-filled steamed buns, noodle dishes and more. They've also installed an Asian-focused cocktail program that caters to an after-hours crowd.
