Executive chef Andrew Miller is cutting the proverbial cord
from HOM Wood Fired Grill (17800 W.
Blue Mound Rd.). Saturday Feb. 22 is Miller’s last day in the kitchen. (Miller
was also exec chef at HOM’s SURG-operated predecessor, 8-twelve MVP Bar & Grill.) While Miller isn’t ready to reveal his career plans, the SURG folks have his replacement lined up. He is Mike Meinzer, who was the executive chef at The Capital Grille (310 W. Wisconsin

location at Bayshore Town Center, but
the company has not announced an opening date.
