Rustic House, Chicago

Jason Paskewitz has more than a decade of experience creating renowned dishes in some of Chicago’s finest kitchens, as well as being nationally recognized on Food Network.

Paskewitz, a Queens native, has adopted Chicago as his hometown and is now a passionate proponent of his second city. His “contemporary Chicago cuisine” is inspired by French, Italian and American preparations, and as executive chef and partner of Gemini Bistro in Lincoln Park, Paskewitz brings his charming and hospitable personality to a neighborhood American bistro. The approachable cuisine (duck confit nachos, double-cut pork chop, crab cake benedict) and inviting decor at Gemini welcome guests for both dinner service and weekend brunch.
