Reflecting on the first two decades of Wildfire – Glenview, Executive Chef and Partner Joe Decker, who opened the original Wildfire location in Chicago and has been with Lettuce Entertain You for 38 years, said: “In one word, working at Wildfire – Glenview is ‘gratifying.’ Because our chef team is so strong and reliable, I can play around in the kitchen and be creative, and not have to worry about the day-to-day stuff. I know that our Wildfire guests will have a consistently enjoyable dining experience with us.” 
Decker says that high-quality food prepared in a simple fashion is a cornerstone of the Wildfire menu, as demonstrated in the Spinach Salad, topped with bacon, mushrooms, radishes and chopped egg tossed with Wildfire’s signature warm mustard dressing. This superstar salad is making its comeback from Monday, September 9 – Friday, September 13.
