Bruce Finkelman
Co-owner, Longman & Eagle, Bite Café, Empty Bottle
He made his bones slinging sweaty bottles of PBR to young hipsters head-nodding to Andrew Bird et al. in a cave-like bar on Western. Now he slings premium bourbon, killer organ meats and upscale bar nosh to middle-aged hipsters in Logan Square and earned a Michelin star to boot.
