LOGAN SQUARE—Logan's beloved longtime greasy spoon Johnny's Grill finally has a new tenant. Dustin Tripp, a former chef for Brendan Sodikoff, is planning a Nashville-esque spot named Georgia Mae's at Johnny's Grill.

AROUND TOWN—Eater released the list of hottest restaurants in Chicago just before the holiday. New entrants are Masada, Knife & Tine, and Boltwood.

MICHIGAN CITY, IN—Lightning rod chef Brandon Baltzley finally opened his 10-seat farmhouse restaurant TMIP—and the local health department closed it 8 days later for a lack of permits.
