"There are so many fun flavors, textures, and things you can do with vegetables that I've learned over the years of cooking, and I just want to show people what you can do with them."'.

A rescue dog, some serious Chicago restaurant pedigree and one very special new café. 🐾

Dewey’s Café is officially open in Roscoe Village, and Eater has the exclusive first look.

Riley Brown and Hannah Grossman met while opening Monteverde and have been building a life together in Chicago hospitality ever since. Riley later rose to chef de cuisine at two Michelin-starred Oriole, while Hannah is a certified sommelier with more than a decade of restaurant and wine experience.

Named for their beloved rescue chihuahua, @deweys_cafe is rooted in what he taught them about love, care and patience. That spirit runs through a seasonal, plant-focused menu built around regional growers, minimal waste and relationships with local makers including @metriccoffee, @volitionteaco, @beacondoughnuts, @middle__brow, and @hopewellbrewing.

That same warmth carries through every visual detail. A special nod to @sirenbettydesign, who brought it into the interiors, and @danpolyak, who carried it through the branding.

Lunch, happy hour and dinner are still to come. Read the full story at @eater_chicago.
