Chef Geno Bahena
Congratulations to Chef Geno Bahena, who helms Manchamanteles, the upscale Mexican restaurant he opened in October 2023 in Chicago’s Bucktown neighborhood. Bahena, a long-time friend of el Restaurante, was host David Manilow’s featured guest on the 100th episode of The Dining Table, a Crain's Chicago Business podcast about all things food in Chicago.
Known far and wide as “The King of Mole,” Bahena shares stories about everything from learning the art of mole-making as a young boy to his experience working with celebrity Chef Rick Bayless at Frontera Grill ways back in 1987 — the year the now-acclaimed Mexican restaurant made its Chicago debut.
