John Kunkel, the owner of 50 Eggs and amateur chef boxer, has decided to get into the Latin food business. They just recently opened in Las Vegas in the Palazzo, fried chicken and southern style Yardbird, that despite having had their first two head chefs quit, their pastry chefs quit, has been a pretty amazing success.
According to the Miami Herald,
In development is a new Latin concept, called Chica, in Las Vegas, with Miami executive chef Lorena Garcia, Kunkel said. The location will be announced in coming weeks and is planned to open next year. Kunkel described it as a “fun brand experience around Latin American flavors and cultures and cocktails” inspired by living in Miami.
