Rouxster’s Cookhouse Serves Mariano’s Locations With the opening of Rouxster’s Cookhouse, Mariano’s customers will now be able to enjoy a Nashville-style chicken and fish concept with an emphasis on fun comfort food, fresh ingredients and lots of flavor, helmed by local chef John Meyer. “At Mariano’s we are all about the experience, and Rouxster’s Cookhouse will provide just that,” said Michael Marx, President, Roundy’s Division. In addition to Cookhouses within Mariano’s in Bronzeville and Park Ridge, there’s their newly-opened South Halsted location with more stores planned for the future. At Rouxster’s, customers can order from a great selection of sandwiches
like the oven-roasted or Nashville Hot Chicken and Fried Catfish. There is a grilled Jamaican Jerk Chicken sandwich with Chef Meyer’s special jerk sauce and Shrimp Po Boy. All sandwiches will feature a special sauce, coleslaw and pickles in true Southern style. All seasonings, batters and breading are created by Chef Meyer. Turkey Chili and freshly made Chicken Gumbo, along with sides such as Smoked Gouda Mac & Cheese, Potato Salad and Collard Greens round out the savory section of the menu! Don’t miss dessert as Chef Meyer is famous for his Banana Pudding, Bread Pudding and Sweet Potato Pie. Continues on page 13
