Restaurant Butcher / Prep Cook

The Oakville Grill & Cellar, which aims to bring the best of Napa Valley to Chicago’s Fulton Market neighborhood, will open this spring. This new concept is a collaboration between Chef Max Robbins (former Culinary Director and Managing Partner at Land and Sea Dept., and Executive Chef of Longman & Eagle) and Wine Director Richard Hanauer, Partner at RPM Restaurants. The menu will focus on simply prepared dishes made with expertly sourced, seasonal ingredients, with an emphasis on live-fire cooking. It will also boast one of the largest, exclusively California wine lists in Chicago and feature a first-of-its-kind tasting room that lets guests experience Napa Valley from Fulton Market.
