With Fortune and Plant Based Papi moving in, Bowler and Manuel hope to bring in a whole different energy the venue will receive a cheerful makeover to create a welcoming and all-inclusive lounge space. The men kept the details to themselves, until Bowler broke the news on social media Sunday.Ĭonnected to the Sentinel lobby, Jackknife - a Lighting Bar Collective cocktail bar with a moody whiskey lounge vibe - closed in May 2020 due to the pandemic. Two months ago, Bowler and Manuel reconnected and set things into motion. The two have known each other for years: In Manuel’s perspective, Bowler, who is vegan and was once a touring DJ, has always played the hottest and newest music at Fortune. About six months ago, Fortune owner Eric Bowler reached out to Manuel asking about future plans for Plant Based Papi. The Instagram announcement didn’t reveal Manuel’s next move: Old Town Chinatown nightclub Fortune is taking over the former Jackknife space in the Sentinel hotel, and Plant Based Papi will join the kitchen.įaced with the additional challenges of the pandemic, Fortune announced its closure in September 2020 after a two-year-long legal battle with the building owners.

At Bit House, the chef will offer the first Plant Based Papi sit-down experience with crispy birria tacos, jalapeño mac and cheese, fried “chicken” sandwiches, and even a birria burrito. In the meantime, the shop on Morrison will undergo renovations to better accommodate walk-ups when it reopens. On June 22, Plant Based Papi announced on Instagram that it would be starting a three-month long chef residency at Bit House Collective, which previously hosted Filipino hotspot Magna. Now, as Manuel renovates the Morrison shop, the chef is expanding into new neighborhoods: starting a chef residency at Bit House Collective, and taking over the kitchen at Fortune nightclub when it reopens in the former Jackknife space in the Sentinel hotel later this month. Just six months ago, Jewan Manuel’s pop-up turned restaurant, Plant Based Papi, opened on Morrison, serving vegan comfort foods ranging from Nashville fried chicken sandwiches to mac-and-cheese tacos to mushroom scallop alfredo.
