incredibly shocked and deeply saddened by the unexpected loss of
Charlie at our home in Lincoln Park. He was much loved, and words can
not describe how much he will be missed.
"Charlie was a trailblazer and introduced people to a new way of
dining when he opened Charlie Trotter’s. His impact upon American
cuisine and the culinary world at large will always be remembered."
