This popular store's historic wooden storefront was entirely rebuilt, and adorned with a 9 foot tall, hand carved, solid wooden spoon. Blue and yellow tiles in a checkerboard pattern accent the exterior entryway and base panels across the facade. 

The interior is a showroom and teaching kitchen. In the kitchen, a concrete countertop, custom cabinets, a stainless steel oven hood, and attractive bar stools offer the Spoon's students excellent design ideas in addition to new cooking techniques.

Despite the extensive renovation, many of the original historic elements (hardwood floors and exterior cornice) were retained. For more information stop by at 5047 N. Clark Street in Chicago or visit their website at  www.woodenspoonchicago.com
