Name Game Contest draws attention to new fusion restaurant in Chicago
A new eatery has entered the Windy City, opening doors to a whole new assortment of delicious treats, sushi, homemade noodles, and contemporary entrées, all savory samples of Japanese cuisine.
But this is not the most interesting part about the event. The restaurant is yet unnamed and has come up with a rather unusual idea to give the place its name, allowing consumers to get directly involved in the promotion of the new dining concept. If you’ve got a catchy name that you think is defining for the restaurant’s essence, be sure to submit your entry at eatiscoming.com until September 15. No purchase necessary to win. You’ll get the chance to win free food for a year as the lucky winner will receive a $100 gift certificate to the named restaurant each month for one year, totaling $1200 worth of food.
The venue is already open for business at 1613 North Damen Avenue, waiting for consumers to come in and check their appetizing dishes. Bucktown is slowly becoming a hub for original businesses, fine urban establishments, quality rental apartments and creative people, no doubt about that.
Among other favorites, the Cherry Tomato Tempura will make your taste buds go crazy or you can try creating your very own maki! The chefs behind this exquisite venture are all about innovation and prolific culinary artistry. Their recipe for good dining karma is just inspiring:
1 part palatable cuisine
1 part feel-good ambiance
1 part charismatic people
Mix all three ingredients together for at least 1 or more hours. Season to your tastes. Share with others and, there you have it! You have made yourself some good dining karma.













UPDATE: Just gave the restaurant a call. Yes, the Name Game is over! The winner has been selected but the restaurant must check with City Hall to make sure that the name receives clearance. The announcement will be made on September 23rd!
UPDATE: Vassaly Sivanthaphanith, the GM, revealed that the name of the restaurant will be Enso Sushi + Bar. Check them out in Bucktown and enjoy their nifty new sign. Leave your review here in the comments section!
