At Cornerstone Restaurant Group, we believe in giving back to the community. Join us.
Food, in the end, in our own tradition, is something holy. It’s not about nutrients and calories. It’s about sharing. It’s about honesty. It’s about identity.
Louise Fresco
If you really want to make a friend, go to someone’s house and eat with him… The people who give you their food give you their heart.
Cesar Chavez
Food is our common ground, our universal experience.

Commitment to Community
We believe that our restaurants should have a positive impact on our larger surrounding community. Through a variety of events and local promotions, we give back to those in need and also take a lead role in mobilizing the chef community in Chicago to support important causes.

Projects
From a global United Airlines charitable campaign to a local Chicago Backyard BBQ Series, we are constantly looking for ways to use our passion and skills to help those in need.
Chef Bill Kim had a very close relationship with Charlie Trotter and the work that he did with Chicago Public Schools, which made Chef Kim one of the first chef’s in the US to become a Chef Ambassador for The Trotter Project. Today, Chef Kim participates in at least one Trotter Project event a month. Other organizations that we are proud to support include: Inspiration Kitchens, Common and Purple Asparagus, and Inspiration Kitchens.
