Hey everyone, Michael LaFido here! I'm ecstatic to share some more fantastic news straight from Wheaton that's sure to delight all you local enthusiasts and food lovers. I recently sat down with Eric Schleckman, the mastermind behind the popular 302 in downtown Wheaton, to discuss some exciting new developments on the horizon.
Eric and his team just celebrated an incredible milestone—five years of serving up amazing dishes that have truly put Wheaton on the culinary map. Despite the challenges we all faced during COVID, Eric has been a key player in transforming downtown Wheaton into a bustling hub of activity and great dining experiences.
But here's the real scoop, folks. Eric is about to unveil two thrilling new ventures: Doe and the Backyard. The latter, which Eric describes as an extension of your living room mixed with a backyard vibe, promises live music, entertainment, and a unique setting that Wheaton has been missing. It's a space designed for those times when you aren't quite ready to call it a night. Imagine a glass garage door opening up to a charming courtyard, complete with a putting green—sounds like the perfect spot for corporate events and Oktoberfest-style gatherings, right?
As for timing, Eric is aiming high. With plans to open the Backyard by the end of the year—hopefully just in time for a grand New Year's Eve bash—and Doe by early next year, these new ventures are sure to enhance Wheaton’s already vibrant downtown scene.
So mark your calendars and stay tuned! The community's buzz is building, and I can hardly wait to see what Eric and his talented team bring to life next. For updates, check out doughwheaton.com, where you’ll find more information on these exciting new projects.
Thanks for reading, and a huge thanks to Eric for his tireless efforts in making Wheaton an even better place to live, dine, and celebrate. Cheers to great food, fantastic events, and a brighter future for our beloved town. Stay tuned for more updates, folks! Make it a great day!
