It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s a Ballyhoo! At 11 locations and growing, it’s likely you’ve dined at a Ballyhoo Hospitality restaurant before. Their roster includes names like Denucci’s, Gemini, Petit Pomeroy, Coda di Volpe and more!
Known for their feel-good vibes and opulent customer service, the group brings “going out for a night in the city” to the suburbs and offer a vibey way to have “lunch with friends”.
We meet Kayla Morrison, Vice President of Operations, who introduces us to Founders Ryan and Anna O'Donnell. They started with a single location just days after their wedding and turned that into the thriving restaurant group that exists today.
Discover some of the many culinary options sprinkled throughout Chicagoland and how they bring a concept to life. From Ryan’s in-office Pinterest board to opening day, the Ballyhoo is in the details.
We discuss where they’re going next and what’s to come in 2025 (new spots are opening)!!
We end with rapid fire, in which Kayla describes Ioanna and Aaron as a Ballyhoo restaurant! Plus, her go-to entree and cocktail!
