Wow....what an amazing story. Wicker Park's much-beloved Earwax Cafe in is re-opening due to the outpouring of support from residents and restaurant fans.

The following statement was released by Earwax Cafe today March 10th:

"Due to popular demand Earwax will re-open after a menu overhaul and cleaning tomorrow.



Kurt Guzowski, formerly Executive Chef of Landmark Grill has spruced up the vegetarian and vegan-focused menu, keeping a few of the old favorites and adding some new dishes and ever-changing daily specials.



You guys have convinced us to re-open, despite some difficulties, and to stick with the tried and true concept of the cafe."

Guzowski will add more fresh fruits and vegetables to the menu. The restaurant will be open at 11am on Friday.

The menu has been reduced to about half its size and will include new dishes plus daily specials inspired by seasonal produce. The restaurant will be closed Tuesdays and open only 9 a.m.-5 p.m. on Sundays for brunch; a change from the previous 7 day a week late night schedule.

Great job residents and restaurant fans.
