That will soon change with Rodd and Laura’s shared vision. Many customers dine at places in the Loop everyday and know nothing of their history or even who owns them. Their idea is to create unique restaurants with the feel of a “mom and pop” owned establishment. The “odd couple” is teaming up to open two more restaurants in the Loop. And there is something even more exciting yet to come! Although Rodd and Laura can be thought of as the “odd couple” of the restaurant business, this pairing has led to One North’s success. She has also served as Executive Chef for corporate dining at Motorola Food Works, managing an operation serving more than 7,000 internal clients with responsibilities including development of national food programs. Piper has trained with some of the best chefs both locally and internationally including Chef Pierre Pollin of Le Titi de Paris and the acclaimed Ramon Freixa Riera at his Michelin-starred restaurant in Barcelona, Spain. She has served as Executive Chef in a number of Chicago’s most prestigious restaurants including Gibson’s Steak House. Chef Laura Piper holds degrees in both Liberal Arts and Culinary Arts with an AAS from the Kendall College School of Culinary Arts. He soon hired Chef Laura Piper to help him achieve this vision. He had a vision and wanted to make it a reality.
He didn’t know much about the restaurant business, but knew a lot about numbers. The restaurant opened its doors in 2013 when Rodd Goldman, a successful CPA, took a risk and purchased One North. However, what many customers do not know is the story behind One North and the the owners' future endeavors. Their outstanding bar menu includes an extensive selection of craft beers, unique artisan spirits and an impressive wine list. One North’s Executive Chef Laura Piper has created a Contemporary American menu that proudly serves Sustainable Seafood along with Antibiotic and Hormone Free poultry, beef and pork. Its beautiful interior and outstanding service have earned One North 4.4 stars out of 5 on OpenTable. The restaurant’s mahogany and slate flooring, flagstone walls, deep leather booths, and open kitchen provide a warm atmosphere ideal for business meetings, intimate dinners, and pre or post-opera performance dinners and drinks. People in Chicago know One North Kitchen and Bar as the popular lunch and dinner spot located across from the historic Lyric Opera house.
