What Cook County does
to a commercial appliance.

Where commercial appliances sit in Cook County: older housing stock, chef-designed cooking lines, mixed housing.

All of Chicago

Older housing stock

Restaurants in old buildings often run modern equipment on electrical service and gas piping sized for another era, and a combi oven or a booster heater that trips breakers there is checked against the building's capacity before a part is blamed.

Chef-designed cooking lines

Open kitchens in designed restaurants put the cooking line in full view of guests, so a repair there is scheduled away from service and finished cleanly, with panels, trim and stainless left the way the room was designed.

Mixed housing

Blocks where a decades-old diner sits beside a new fast-casual counter hold griddles with mechanical valves next to combi ovens with touch screens, and a repair visit there starts by reading the model plate and whatever service history exists.

Gold Coast

The Gold Coast's hotels, steakhouses and Rush Street bars run long nights, and their condensing units share rooftops with tower exhaust fans, taking lake wind in winter and reflected heat in summer.

Lakeview

Lakeview's bars and restaurants around Wrigley Field see enormous crowds on game days, and the fryers, walk-ins and dish machines there have to be ready for a whole season of sudden peaks.

Lincoln Park

Lincoln Park's restaurants along Halsted and Armitage and the kitchens that feed its university crowd rely on compact lines and busy dish machines, and their rooftop units take the full weight of a Chicago winter.

Near North Side

Potter Palmer, a former dry goods merchant who owned the Palmer House hotel, built a castle on Lake Shore Drive in 1885 and made the Gold Coast home to the super-rich.

Oak Park

Oak Park's restaurants and cafes around Lake Street and the village's schools and senior residences run steady kitchens and laundries, and older buildings there often need their gas and electrical capacity checked when equipment is swapped.

River Forest

River Forest's Small Business Improvement Grant helps businesses and property owners in the North Avenue and Madison Street TIF districts pay for facade work such as signage, lighting and windows.

West Loop / Near West Side

Once a district of factories and warehouses, the West Loop has turned many of its buildings into loft condominiums, restaurants, bars and art galleries.

Wilmette

The Spanish Court, built in the area once called No Man's Land, was one of the nation's earliest automobile-centered shopping developments and was later renovated as Plaza del Lago.

Winnetka

Winnetka's village restaurants, clubs and schools run commercial kitchens a short walk from Lake Michigan, and their rooftop units and dining-hall equipment are checked each fall before the lake wind turns bitter.
