Dear Logan Square,

We love being part of our vibrant community. And after some reflection, we're hoping to serve our neighborhood better and ourselves better, by slowing down, and evolving our beloved restaurant on the Square from fast service to full service.

The lessons from the pandemic affirmed how much we love hospitality. We want to spend more time with you — our guests — and renew our commitment to connection.

As we evolve this gem into a neighborhood bistro, we honor tradition, culture, and family with our new name — SECOND GENERATION.

A nod to our upbringing and evolution, Second Generation resonates with the rich and layered identity of being raised in two cultures — both wholly American and wholly Asian —and what’s more American than being a child of immigrants.

As restaurateurs, our multi-cultured experience has guided us as leaders in the industry for over a decade. We draw from this inheritance to steward our heritage.

We believe cooking and sharing food is an act of love. We know Second Generation will be a great neighborhood place, a refuge for being present and in the moment for all of us.

We look forward to hosting you,

Edward, Vicki, Nate

p.s. Yes, indeed, the Burger is on the menu :)
