The American Restaurant
The timing of the visit was opportune, as the restaurant had just re-opened the day before after a five week remodeling of its kitchen. Rooted in the frustration of seeing a once proud city suffering from the aftermath of the assault of suburbia, in the late 60’s the founder of Hallmark Cards, J.C. Hall, determined to build a shopping center that would feature a fine dining establishment that would exemplify American cuisine. The result of this was The American, a restaurant that has been blessed by a number of talented chefs, the most recent of which is Celina Tio, Chef Magazine’s 2005 Chef of the Year and the James Beard 2007 Midwest Best Chef award recipient.
