Another shot for Whiskey?
If you walked by the Sutton Place Hotel in the Gold Coast earlier this month, you might have noticed paper in windows at The Whiskey Bar & Grill and wondered what was up. Well, seems the folks behind The Whiskey (Rande Gerber, Cindy Crawford's hubby, and his brother Scott) have partnered up with big-shooter chef Richard Sandoval - his stable of restaurants includes Pampano in NYC, Maya in San Francisco and Isla in Las Vegas -- to create a new concept. They enlisted production designer Charles Infante, who's done music videos with everyone from Missy Elliott to The Strokes, to spruce up the interior; he ditched the masculine wood and leather look and gave the space a modern Latin vibe. They re-christened the restaurant Mexx Kitchen at The Whiskey and debuted a fresh lineup of Mexican eats very quietly mid-June (for now the signage still says Whiskey Bar & Grill). The opening menu includes choices like wood-oven prepped enchiladas, ceviche and Mexico City-style tacos, plus entrees like a grilled filet of beef with chile poblano-potato gratin, cheese mole enchilada and cactus leaf salad.
