Declans Irish Pub in Chicago, IL
Declans Irish Pub in Chicago I happen to be our family foodie however my younger brother took the big leap first as a hobby and has created quite the successful irish pub in downtown Chicago. When they started almost 3 years ago I was a little worried about the food and the fact he referred to the guy in the kitchen as "Chef". To me the guy couldn't hold my apron which had me a little concerned as I'm not professionally trained yet have worked with multiple chefs in different settings, including Chicago's own Charlie Trotter who will be missed dearly. I just returned from a long weekend in Chicago (from Florida) for my nephew's wedding (who worked at Declans in law school). Much to my surprise after an evening of tasting, they have really done something big there! I would strongly recommend putting him on your map as I will be going back with a local executive chef/friend to get his input. Any questions don't hesitate to contact me. Todd 954-547-2940
