We have known and had the joy of working with the Bannos family over many years. In fact, The Purple Pig was Isabelli’s very first client when we launched in 2011! Today, it’s a new era for Jimmy Bannos, Jr., who - after earning countless accolades, including Best New Restaurant by Bon Appetit and Rising Star Chef Award by The James Beard Foundation - is branching out on his own to open Kouklas, a modern Greek eatery in Niles, Illinois. His ancestral heritage comes alive later this summer! Read all about it in Chicago magazine at the link in bio. 🇬🇷
