  8. From Avenues to Grace: Curtis Duffy's new West Loop restaurant is "all about grace"

    In January 2010, chef Curtis Duffy took a one-month sabbatical from Avenues to creatively recharge. He set a goal for himself: conceptualize one dish for every day that month (one he came up with was called &ldquo;The Life Cycle of Fennel&rdquo;).

One word, in his mind, kept surfacing to the forefront: Grace.
