Jerry Kleiner’s journey

Kleiner’s the dining impresario who brought Chicago Gioco, Marche, Red Light, Opera and more.

YoChicago’s Joe Zekas and photographer Michael Kardas joined Kleiner for a walk through Room 21, his latest restaurant in Chicago’s South Loop.

Kleiner’s journey started in Russia and Poland, with memories of bread lines, and moved on from the “hamburger and hot dog palate” of his youth to his current scene, where he takes his diners on an adventure and leaves them with a “wow.”

This is the final part of a 3-part video.
