Scooter's Custard Opens; Sneak Peek at Next; Jared Van Camp's New Spot

LAKEVIEW—You may have heard geese honking overhead and now another sign that spring is on its way: Scooter's Frozen Custard officially reopened at 2 p.m. Friday. Get ready to get in line. [Feast]

FULTON MARKET—Wondering what Next will look like? Here's a sneak peek. Grant Achatz tweeted earlier, "Starting to look like a restaurant....The dining room of Next." The ceiling kind of reminds us of Doc Ock's tentacles from Spiderman. At least for now. [Twitter]

WEST LOOP—The team behind Old Town Social and chef Jared Van Camp announced today they signed a lease for a new European soul food-type joint in the old Marche space. The still-unnamed project, influenced by a boho-chic, rock 'n' roll vibe, is scheduled to open late fall. [EaterWire]
