Toby Keith's Pays Up in Rosemont; Third Stan's Donuts Coming Soon; More

ROSEMONT—Toby Keith's I Love This Bar & Grill's management says they have paid the nearly $700,000 owed (for taxes and rent) possibly avoiding eviction. They are hoping that they can work out a way to stay past their current lease (expiring December 31), but Rosemont Mayor Brad Stephens isn't certain, who indicates that the village has other opportunities for the space. Only time will tell what is in store for the chain's Chicago-area location. [Daily Herald]

EAST LAKEVIEW—The new Stan's Donuts & Coffee is planning to open in October at 2800 N. Clark. The two other Chicago locations run by Rich Labriola are in Wicker Park and Streeterville. [EaterWire]

RIVER NORTH—Earlier today word came out that Greg Elliot was replacing Remington's opening chef Russell Kook. Now comes news that Kook is heading back to his old job at Chicago Cut Steakhouse. Co-owner David Flom says that Kook begins this Tuesday and that he will have free reign on creating specials (about four to five a day) and that Flom will "empower him to redo some of the fish dishes and appetizers." Look for Kook's changes to Chicago Cut in the coming weeks. [EaterWire]

PORTAGE PARK/GLADSTONE PARK—A name change is coming to burger haven Leadbelly's two locations.

See below for the full Facebookmessage to guests.
