Lauded chef Alejandro Paredes is casting a wider net for his Fish Lonja concept.
The companion spot to Carnitas Lonja, the popular spot on Roosevelt, opened in 2019 with fresh fish and shrimp ceviches and fish tacos. The food is fresh and light, a nice counterpart to the unctuous carnitas Paredes has received plenty of accolades for, with nods in Eater and Esquire in 2018.
The food and Paredes caught the attention of Chad Carey of the Empty Stomach Group behind Barbaro, Extra Fine, Rumble, Pizza Party, Little Death and Hot Joy. The result? Mutual respect for all things Empty Stomach and Carnitas, in which will now result in a partnership between Paredes and the Empty Stomach Group.

Food & Wine, the magazine issued an apology and updated its
recipe for mole verdeafter facing criticism. Without consulting the Mexico City chefs who created the recipe, staff had suggested adding hot sauce and limes as a garnish a change that “is not something that anybody would traditionally do in Mexico,” chef Norma Listman said as part of a thoughtful, nuanced discussion published by the magazine. Now that’s how you apologize.
