River North

Hubbard Inn, an European-inspired venue in the River North neighborhood, has welcomed Jason Hedin (of the Lobby at The Peninsula and Travelle Kitchen + Bar) to the team as Executive Chef.  New lunch and dinner menus are now available featuring a local and seasonal take on Ernest Hemingway's travels through Europe, bringing a shared plate and fine dining experience to Hubbard Inn. 

"At 8 Hospitality, Hubbard Inn has been our signature property, and we're committed to raising the bar to new heights as we watch River North evolve. That commitment includes introducing our new menu with an inventive take on otherwise traditional items backed by a new kitchen team, and complemented by a reimagined and fresh beverage program," says Carmen Rossi, Founder of 8 Hospitality.

New menu offerings include shared plates like a Spiced Merguez Flatbread (Vadouvan tzatziki, chèvre cheese, arugula), starters including the Lobster Hazelnut Bouillon (lobster rillettes, spiced hazelnut, pickled raspberries, red wine crème), and the Lacquered Duck Breast entrée (foie gras and beluga lentil "fried rice", fine herbs).
