The Classic Diner Gets a Food-Hall Revival

Chefs Mason Edelson and Sarah Jordan of Chicago have opened a diner inspired spot in the grand Revival Food Hall. This abbreviated version of a diner will have diners sitting at a granite counter top on top of bar stools. The mini-diner, named Graze, will serve traditional items like single and double hamburgers, a breakfast sandwich, while serving newer foods like smoothie bowls and a tofu patty melt. The food will be eco-friendly and marketed towards the fitness-conscious millennial crowd. There are plans to expand the Graze brand even further with an emphasis on smoothie bowls.

Key Takeaways:

  • A food hall is a new trend sweeping the nation that offers many different restaurants under one roof almost like a food-court.
  • Two Chicago chefs are preparing to make a modernized concept of the classic diner inside a food-hall.
  • The chefs find that this food-hall environment is perfect for trying new things and having an audience that is more accepting and less serious than fine dining.

“Food halls are taking the nation’s cities by storm, providing locals with a central location for dozens of innovative concepts”
