Edie’s All Day Café & Bar (Edie’s) is opening the doors to its second location in the former 3 Greens Market space (354 W. Hubbard Street) on Friday, September 23. Under the culinary direction of Chef Amanda Salas, Edie’s second location will feature expanded hours and food menu, as well as private events and catering programs.
The first Edie’s All-Day Café & Bar, located in the Wells corridor of Chicago’s River North neighborhood (675 N. Wells), opened during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in August 2020, – catering to individuals on-the-go, and remote workers and professionals looking for a community space from breakfast through dinner. And was founded by hospitality veterans Matt Matros, Chris Dunsatter and Arturo Gomez.
“We wanted to create something new with Edie’s where people could come meet, work, create and also enjoy what we believe are great food and beverage options throughout the day and into the evening,” says Edie’s co-founder, Arturo Gomez. “The idea that you could get an amazing cup of coffee, enjoy some great food options and end the day with a glass of wine was a perfect combination in my opinion. The community response over the last two years has been tremendous, and we are excited to have the opportunity to expand the concept into another amazing pocket of the River North neighborhood.”
Guests visiting the second location can expect the same functional gathering space, with globally inspired food and drink menus. Culinary Director, Chef Amanda Salas, formerly of Recess, Smoke Daddy, and Rockit Bar and Grill, and recent champion of Food Network’s Beat Bobby Flay, is expanding the dinner menu with items like:
Meatballs, served with San Marzano tomato sauce, pesto, parmesan and garlic breadcrumbs
Steak Frites, featuring a 6-ounce flat iron steak, truffle pomme frites, pesto, and roasted garlic aioli
Roasted Salmon, (6-ounce Norwegian filet) served over creamed spinach and topped with pickled pepper and caper relish, and charred lemon
Braised Beef Short Rib, with cauliflower puree, crispy onions, cabernet fig sauce
Chicken Paillard, featuring a 5-ounce chicken breast, harissa, Marcona almonds, golden raisins, and green beans
Orecchiette Pasta, served with turkey sausage, kale, parmesan, Aleppo chili flake, tossed in vodka sauce and topped with garlic breadcrumbs
In addition, guests to the new location can anticipate lemon ricotta pancakes, Belgian waffles, traditional lox and bagel platters, grain bowls, butternut squash soup, turkey chili, and more during the breakfast and lunch hours. The West Hubbard Street café will also feature a full-service coffee and smoothie bar, as well as beer, wine, and spirits, similar to the original location, with options like the charcoal latte, breakfast bowls, flatbreads and more being served.
“With the expanded kitchen in the Hubbard Street location, we are able to execute elevated breakfast and dinner options, like the pancakes, waffles, steak frites, and pasta, as well as provide more catering and private event offerings,” says Chef Salas. “Having worked in the River North area for nearly 15 years, and alongside Arturo at other neighborhood restaurants, we have developed a keen eye for what River North professionals and food lovers expect, and I’m excited to continue to expand Edie’s food offerings at both River North locations, and others, as the brand continues to grow.”
Edie’s West Hubbard Street Location is open seven days per week from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., with breakfast being served from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., lunch available starting at 11:00 a.m. and dinner entrees being served from 3:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
