Juniper Grille: Gone in 60 Seconds

It was a sad surprise for many to learn that Juniper Grille (1332 Carnegie Ave.), the seven-year-old breakfast and lunch spot near Progressive Field, closed abruptly earlier this month. “My wife and I looked at the lease and I decided we wanted to do something else somewhere else,” explains owner Tom Szoradi. Fans of Szoradi’s style, which relies on quality ingredients and classic technique to create approachable, affordable fare, should not have to hold their breaths too long. Once the team settles on a spot – they are looking in the nearby suburbs surrounding the city – they will move forward with plans to open “something similar in style.”
