At The Bellevue, we pride ourselves on offering more than just great food — we bring classic American dishes to life with a modern twist, blending tradition with innovation to create unforgettable dining experiences. Recently, our very own Executive Chef, Russell Kook, took center stage on WGN TV’s Daytime Chicago to give viewers an exclusive look into some recent dishes.
In the segment, Chef Russell demonstrates how he prepares one of our newest dishes, Bucatini Carbonara. While carbonara is a beloved classic, Chef Russell adds his own spin, ensuring every plate is crafted with care and passion. His focus on perfect technique and high-quality ingredients truly shines, reflecting the essence of what we do at The Bellevue — delivering familiar flavors with an elevated touch.
Beyond carbonara, Chef Russell also highlighted a few other favorites on our menu, like the prime tomahawk and grilled octopus with saffron aioli. Whether you’re a regular at The Bellevue or a first-time visitor, our menu is always evolving, ensuring there’s something new to savor with every visit.
His appearance on Daytime Chicago perfectly encapsulates what makes The Bellevue a must-visit dining destination in the Gold Coast: a commitment to excellence in every dish. Be sure to watch the clip and then come in to experience these dishes firsthand! We can’t wait to welcome you to The Bellevue for a taste of world-class flavors, right here in the heart of Chicago.
