The Radler is a German beer hall by Chef Partner Nathan Sears (Vie, Mod and Coco Pazzo) and Managing Partner Adam Hebert (Tribeca Grill, Corton, Vie). After years of being at the forefront of local cuisine in Chicago, Chef Sears realized the similarities between the ways Germans approach food and the habits of Midwest chefs were difficult to ignore. Everything from pickling, smoking, curing and fermenting is prominent in both cuisines. With these techniques and through combining rustic and earthy flavors, like sweetbreads with salsify and caramel, Chef Sears is defining the soul of The Radler. Hebert, wanting to support local breweries, has teamed up with Flesk Brewery who will be exclusively brewing our house pilsner and hefeweizen. Other collaborations with smaller micro-breweries are in effect to support the vintage and aged beer program. The Radler has a definitive vision as to where German food has been and where the boundaries are set and we will break the mold
