SPRING NEWS AT LAKE FOREST MARKET HOUSE ON THE SQUARE
New Executive Chef Brings Farm-to-Table Approach and Scratch Cooking Back to North Shore Favorite
Prepares to Update Menu, Open Casual Lunch Venue and Convert MH Fish House to New Concept


LAKE FOREST, ILMarket House (MH) on the Square is delighted to welcome Executive Chef Dan
Marquis to the MH team. Most recently serving as Executive Chef at Chicago restaurant EPIC, Chef Dan
brings with him an outstanding reputation for culinary excellence, approaching his craft with
deference for the classics and an insatiable desire to create anew. This unique approach results is
cuisine that is at once diverse, innovative and intelligent. Raised on 160 acres of farmland in Princeton,
Illinois, Chef Dan has a bias for scratch cooking with farm-to-table ingredients.

We could not be more excited to continue evolving Market House in the ways that mean the most to
our customers, says owner Carla Westcott. Chef Dan brings new ideas and fresh energy to Market
House while at the same time respecting our heritage of great dining in a great community.

Chef Dan brings deep culinary background to Market House having previously served as Executive
Chef at Quay, Chef de Cuisine at BIN 36, and in supporting roles at Sushi Samba, Bistro 110, and China
Grill. He earned his culinary degree at The Cooking and Hospitality Institute of Chicago. This is an
exciting time to be in culinary, says Chef Dan. Guests want food made with the freshest, locally-
sourced ingredients, and the restaurants that are really listening are continuing to thrive. I am so
pleased to join Market House on the Square as Carla and her team make some bold moves to stay in
front of this trend.

Chef Dan will be updating the Market House menu this spring to include more organic ingredients,
homemade breads, pasta and charcuterieprepared on premise, from scratch. In addition, the Market
House team will open two new restaurants in June, one on the first floor (off of Bank Lane), offering
informal, counter-service lunch choices including artisanal pizzas, salads and soups; and another on
the second floor of the building for dinner, replacing MH Fish House. The Fish House will close for
remodeling following the dinner service on Saturday, March 5. Both venues are expected to open in
early June 2016. Market House on the Square will remain open during construction.
