Chef-owner Bo Porytko (of Misfit Snackbar and the late, lamented Rebel Restaurant) always wanted to open an Eastern European concept rooted in Ukrainian fare, a nod to his heritage. That came to fruition in early 2023, when the kitschy Molotov opened in a cozy City Park spot. Unlike the often-surprising food at Rebel and Misfit, Porytko is sticking closer to traditional flavors and presentations, with hearty entrees and rotating dumplings, offering a far more refined take on the chef's particular brand of chaos, which still feels fun and fresh while deftly honoring a culture and cuisine with deep roots.
