Chef profile: Dominic Zumpano of Umami Moto
When restaurateur Omar Shaikh re-fashioned Eve, 718 N. Milwaukee St., into Umami Moto last July -- along with co-owners Michael Polaski and Tom Wachman -- he brought in 30-year-old Dominic Zumpano to helm the kitchen. We recently asked Zumpano about his background and a few of his favorite things.

Mi-key's strikes delicious balance Downtown
If you haven't visited yet, put this restaurant on your short list. The recent back room renovations and the revised menu make Mi-key's pop, which will hopefully also make it a permanent resident on Cathedral Square.
