Rick Bayless cutting a ceremonial torta at the opening of his Tortazo restaurant in Skokie on May 25. Celebrity chef and restaurateur Rick Bayless said he thought it was a tongue-in-cheek move for the New York Times to include one of his restaurants as one of the Chicago area’s. It wasn’t for Xoco, Frontera Grill, or Topolobampo, which have garnered awards and attention from Michelin and the James Beard awards, but for his O’Hare International Airport location of Tortas Frontera.
“For a lot of people, this is their backyard,” he said. Four other Bayless restaurants are located in the city, including the original Tortazo in the Willis Tower. “We’re thrilled to be back here and to be able to offer an even bigger menu and to be able to offer the flavors that we’ve been well known for for almost four decades,” Bayless told the crowd.
Lipp said putting Tortazo in the middle of Old Orchard was also intentional with the company’s move to cater to captive audiences, or audiences who may not come to the mall for the restaurant, but want new options when they do come visit. Lipp added that while other malls have faltered, he sees Old Orchard as a place that people gather.
