Kristine Subido helmed the stoves at the Chicago W Lakeshore’s WAVE restaurant for a decade before flying the coop to open Pecking Order.
Through her work at WAVE, Kristine developed a reputation for big, punchy flavor and playful restaurant programming such as the innovative Remedy Brunch and “The Streets at WAVE,” an indoor street cart that boasted a monthly rotation of global street foods.
Kristine opened Pecking Order as an homage to the generations of women and men in her family who passed down their passion for cooking to her. The signature chicken marinade at Pecking Order is a family recipe that she grew up eating and craves endlessly. When the time was right to put her signature chicken in the spotlight, she opened the doors of Pecking Order with her mother, Melinda – making it a family affair all the way.
