In this episode of Supper with Sylvia, I’m thrilled to welcome Jason Chan, one of Chicago’s most respected restaurateurs and a true pioneer of classic French dining in the city.
Jason has built an extraordinary career defined by perseverance, resilience, and a passion for hospitality that has made him a trusted leader among chefs and restaurant owners alike. Inspired by his parents’ tireless work ethic and dreams of a better life, Jason turned challenges into opportunities, carving out a path that has shaped Chicago’s vibrant food scene.
We’ll talk about his journey from humble beginnings to earning critical acclaim with his latest restaurant, Gavroche, an intimate Old Town bistro described as a “petite revolution.” Guests are lining up to experience dishes like Parisian Gnocchi, Fork and Knife Ratatouille, and Escargots à la Bourgogne—French classics reimagined with Jason’s modern touch.
