Executive Sous Chef

Executive

Sous Chef Hawksmoor Chicago

Chicago is the historical powerhouse of American beef,

and when Hawksmoor found out about an actual powerhouse building, it felt like

fate. So, after years of dreaming, we’ve set out

eyes on coming to Chicago. And we’ve found

ourselves a home we cannot wait to settle into.

The LaSalle Street Cable Car Powerhouse is a beautiful,

designated landmark, initially opened in 1887, in the heyday of Chicago’s cable

car system. We intend to do it justice by restoring the original features to

their former glory and, at the same time, breathe new life into the space.
