Chef’s inspiration

Hunn learned about cooking and the food service industry at an early age growing up in Chicago, learning to cook from his Italian grandmother and the business part of it from his father who worked for Kraft & Oscar Meyer. He is classically trained in French & Italian cuisine and in the kitchen has the discipline found in a Japanese kitchen.

Hunn’s menu will be based on what’s available in the market at any given time with an emphasis on Rotisserie cooking. He loves regional American comfort food and chatting with his fishmonger, meat dude, farmers and other vendors from where he gets his ingredients.

Market Street Kitchen is open for Lunch: Monday – Friday 11 am – 3 pm; Dinner: Sunday – Thursday 5 – 9 pm Friday & Saturday 5 – 10 pm; and Brunch: Saturday & Sunday 10 am – 3 pm.
