Crazy Blind Item About Michelin-Starred Chef!

Untitled

This dropped in my inbox last night:

"(Redacted) put in the back of a squad car for shooting fireworks off on (Redacted) Avenue for the second night this week at 10:30 at night on a Wednesday. And we are talking about huge fireworks, not little ones."

This is one of the biggest chefs in the city, by the way. In fact, this particular culinary star has a Michelin star . . .

UPDATE: Whoops. Eater Chicago let the cat out the bag.

    Would this happen to be Chef Michael Carlson of Schwa in Wicker Park??? I live two blocks over and I kept hearing fireworks last night and thinking exactly that, "WTF are fireworks going off on a Wednesday night?!"

    Couldn't happen to a more arrogant guy.

    Sorry you think he is arrogant. I accept that he doesn't deal with the "business side" like normal restaurants. Schwa "is what it is" and I think the risk is worth the reward when I'm able to eat the food of one of the most talented, interesting and unusual guys I've ever met.

    When I tried to make 2 reservations (mind you, I had never been there before), I was told that he would grant me just 1 reservation because he wanted everyone to have the opportunity to experience his restaurant. When I arrived with my party, they made sure to tell us that we needed to get out before the next seating at 9. A so-so dining experience followed. Grateful I didn't make that other reservation. What a tool.
