Looks like almost a decade of enduring his former employer Charlie Trotter’s militant credit claiming management style has paid off for Giuseppe Tentori.

From a recent press release:

“Co-owners Kevin Boehm and Rob Katz are pleased to announce Executive Chef Giuseppe Tentori has been named a partner of their acclaimed Lincoln Park restaurant, BOKA (1729 N. Halsted St.).

Chef Tentori has much to look forward to in 2008. As he continues to exemplify the evolution of progressive America cuisine at BOKA, he will also oversee Perennial, a chef-driven American bistro, which Boehm and Katz will open this March in Lincoln Park at 1800 N. Lincoln Ave. “
