CHICAGO – Longtime Chicago resident and Celebrity Chef Art Smith has begun serving brunch at his Reunion restaurant, located at Chicago’s iconic Navy Pier. Brunch is served every Saturday and Sunday from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Smith, TV personality and personal chef to celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey and Lady Gaga, opened Reunion earlier this year as a family-oriented eatery for locals, visitors, and anyone looking for straightforward, down-home Southern food.
“Brunch is a time to gather with family and friends. It’s more than a meal; it’s a reunion on Sunday morning before the hectic week ahead,” said Chef Art. “Our brunch is inspired by some of my favorite American cuisine staples.”
