Down The Road is sponsored by Lexus, makers of the new seven-passenger 2014 GX. With a sleek combination of utility, capability and connectivity, the GX is the perfect vehicle for your next great adventure outside of the city.


Just outside of Chicago proper, Found Restaurant graces the suburb of Evanston with farm-driven, approachable American fare. The restaurant is helmed by Amy Morton, who after a 14-year break from the restaurant industry decided to bring executive chef Nicole Pederson on board and give her own place a go. The space—reminiscent of a 1920's Paris salon—is a composition of found furniture and objects sourced by Morton herself.


Hit play on the view above to find out why it was Morton's best decision to open in Evanston, and how the two have proven that you can run an important, celebrated restaurant outside of Chicago.
