March 04--Furious Spoon, the buzzy Wicker Park ramen spot, is getting closer to opening its second location. With two days left of their Kickstarter, co-owner and chef Shin Thompson and his team have exceeded their $25,000 goal to help fund a restaurant in Logan Square, with 386 backers pledging $33,432 at the time of this reporting. On the Kickstarter page, Thompson states that the money will cover the cost of a specialty Japanese noodle-maker, amongst other things.
When the doors open on the Logan Square eatery (2410 N. Milwaukee Ave.), expect the same house-made, Tokyo-style ramen Furious Spoon has become famous for. Adopting the same menu (and prices) as the original Wicker Park location, the 1700-square foot space will feature a full bar, expanded late night menu and outdoor patio.
Managing partner Anshul Mangal recently announced plans to open a third location Pilsen by the end of the year. www.furiousramen.com.
