After 10 years, Amy Morton and her team bid farewell to Found Kitchen + Social House in downtown Evanston. The building along Chicago Avenue which is also home to such establishments as BC Cleaners and La Cocinita is being torn down, so Sunday, October 2 will be Found Kitchen's last service.
"Found is where so much started for me," says Amy Morton, Owner of Found Kitchen + Social House, The Barn Steakhouse and Stolp Island Social. "I re-entered the restaurant industry after starting a family and knew that in order to leave my three daughters each day to go to work, it had to be purposeful. I look back at this experience with incredible pride, relishing in what we’ve achieved over the past decade. A sustainable kitchen, socially responsible practices, ground-breaking farm-to-table fare & cocktails, MICHELIN Bib Gourmand (when they still included the suburbs!), equitable environment since day one and an all-female management team, which although was not planned, turned out to be an integral part to our success.”
"I will forever cherish the people who made Found come to life," says Amy. "Our team who loves what they do (and continue to do), and our very special guest base are what has made Found become a home and within that home, a family."
