Chrissoulas Restaurant

About us

Chrissoulas has been a dream of Chefs Nick and Theo since 2008, when they graduated together from one of the nation’s top-ten culinary schools Kendall College in Chicago, IL. They have a combined 20+ years of experience in the culinary industry. Named for and after our Yiayia (Greek for Grandma), Chrissoulas is a very special place for our family and friends. Our Yiayia was a monumental influence on the Chefs. Chrissoula, and our Paupou (Greek for Grandpa) lived in Mettawa, IL, for 30+ years. Some of our fondest memories take place at their family home, surrounding her kitchen table. Yiayia always had something cooking, and never let food go to waste. She made cooking exciting, attainable and fun! Cooking with her was a joy, and we’re honored to use her namesake for our first restaurant.
