Old Town Brasserie Chief Bob Djahanguiri

Like a baby boomer Justin Timberlake, Old Town Brasserie owner Bob Djahanguiri is on a quest to bring sexy back, or in his parlance, “romance.” In the ’80s and early ’90s, Djahanguiri—who opened hot spots like Toulouse and Yvette—was the grand master of the Chicago night circus, hosting visiting celebrities like Liza Minnelli and Harry Connick Jr. Once, Mikhail Baryshnikov and his posse danced on Djahanguiri’s pianos way past the 4 a.m. closing time.

In this month’s podcast, we talk about his new venture, his culinary partner, Chef Roland Liccioni and the offal selection at Old Town Brasserie.

Old Town Brasserie is a grown ups delight! A sophisticated menu, a friendly bar, a torch singer. It’s all one could ask for a night out. Bob D does it again.
