New Wishbone Restaurant In Berwyn
EVEN BEFORE I WAS PALS WITH WISHBONE CHEF/OWNER JOEL NICKSON, I was a fan of his. His first Wishbone was a small but busy breakfast spot on Grand & Wood, serving southern-style food (cheese grits, greens, hoppin' john, etc.). Lines-out-the-door kinda place. He then moved to a much larger space on Washington Street, pioneering what was then a pretty rough part of town (along with his neighbor Oprah Winfrey, whose studio is 1 block east) called the West Loop.His newest (3rd) spot is located next to FitzGerald's Nightclub in Berwyn, IL; I went out there yesterday, shot about 90 seconds of video; here's a down & dirty clip I put together after I got home. FYI, that's our version of "Jambalaya" playing underneath...
