Chef Tom Kern, a native of N.C., brings his high-end culinary background and experience across the country to BadHappy Poutine – the new, cozy, welcoming spot in River North where he caters to the Chicago palate that loves a good guilty pleasure dish, and oversees the kitchen where condiments and other ingredients are made in-house. He works with local farms to source ingredients, and brings a creative, fresh and elevated spin on the Montreal staple. It may be Bad for you… but you can’t help but feel Happy about it.
