A Highland Park connection
If you dined at Abigail’s in Highland Park during the 2010s, there’s a good chance Chef Jonn Sherman cooked your meal. For nearly a decade, Jonn was part of the kitchen at Abigail’s — a restaurant that shaped a generation of North Shore dining and built lasting relationships with families across Highland Park and the surrounding communities.
He later served as chef and consultant at Paulie’s in the Glen, while building his own private chef and catering business for clients across the North Shore. Now, at Fork & Flour Co., Jonn is bringing that same style — classic technique, real flavor, no shortcuts — to a format that fits how people actually eat: chef-driven food you can pick up on the way home, order for lunch, or bring to your table for dinner.
For former Abigail’s regulars in Highland Park: welcome back. And for anyone new to Jonn’s cooking, we think you’ll find it feels familiar.
