His airness opens his first spot in the suburbs today, officially giving Oak Brook a Michael Jordan’s Restaurant. The restaurant, located in the Oak Brook 22 office and retail complex at 1225 W. 22nd Street, is a little different than his steakhouses on the Mag Mile, in Connecticut and Washington state: Its menu has steak but also focuses on Southern dishes including shrimp hush puppies and a pork chop sandwich. The large space includes a 90-seat bar, multiple private dining rooms, and more than 100 photos of MJ, according to a news release. A grab-and-go addition, MJ’s Coffee Bar and Market, is also slated to open there “in the coming weeks.”
