A racing mind and fearless spirit can be a dangerous combination in the restaurant business.
But despite the challenges of opening a new restaurant during a pandemic, Anthony Gargano couldn t resist the urge to test the sandwich ideas swimming in his head.
Gargano recently opened Knead Urban Eatery in St. Charles as a casual alternative to the fine dining experience he offers at his sister restaurant, Osteria Bigolaro, in Geneva.
After a successful soft opening two weeks ago, Knead opened to the public last week to carryout service and was recently granted a liquor license. When COVID-19 restrictions ease, Knead will have seating for about 30 patrons in addition to a bar area that seats about a dozen more.
