Ever is a restaurant in Chicago, Illinois.[1] Established in July 2020,[2] the restaurant earned two Michelin stars in the 2021,[3] 2022[4] and 2023[5] Michelin Guides.[6] The restaurant is co-owned by chef Curtis Duffy and his business partner Michael Muser, respectively former head chef and general manager at Grace, a 3-star Michelin restaurant that was abruptly closed in December 2017 after the duo's offer to buy the restaurant was rejected by its investor-owner.[7]
A fictionalized version of Ever (filmed in the actual restaurant but shown to have a different and significantly longer history) was featured in the TV series The Bear during the second-season episode "Forks".[8] Ever also features prominently in the finale of Season 3 of The Bear, Episode 10 "Forever."[9]
