Wishbone, Iconic West Loop Brunch Spot, Announces Closure After 36 Years
Wishbone, a beloved brunch spot in Chicago's West Loop, is set to close after 36 years of operation. The announcement was made by co-owners Joel and Julie Nickson on social media, expressing gratitude to loyal customers and staff. The restaurant, known for its Southern-inspired comfort food, has been a staple in the community and recognized by publications like Eater and the Chicago Tribune. Although a specific closing date has not been set, the owners hope to remain open through the end of August. The decision follows a previous move in 2018 due to rising rents.
