Too many cooks?
If you've been curious about Soul in Clarendon Hills (the new Howard Davis-Bill Kim venture mentioned in our 8 in '08 story), we've got a few more details to whet your appetite. While the suburban space is under construction, executive chef Karen Nicolas has commandeered a corner of the kitchen at Kim's Le Lan to experiment with future menu items. Apparently, raiding the pantry there hasn't proved very helpful. "It's funny, because [Le Lan is] an Asian restaurant, there's not a lot of the product that we need," Nicolas told us. "So I've been making a lot of trips to Whole Foods." Soul is a big culinary score for the 'burbs: Nicolas is, if we say so ourselves, kind of a big deal. Before working at the Metropolitan Club here in Chicago, she worked at critically acclaimed spots such as NYC's Gramercy Tavern, Aureole in Las Vegas and Hawthorne Lane in San Francisco.
