Chef Karl joined the Maggiano’s family in 1996, beginning his journey at our Clark & Grand location. Every day, Chef Karl brings his expertise and passion into our kitchen, creating memorable dining experiences for our guests. When it comes to our menu, his favorite dish is Spaghetti Meat Sauce, a reflection of his love for bold flavors and authentic Italian traditions. For Chef Karl, the best part of working at Maggiano’s is seeing happy guests leaving the restaurant and telling him they will we back soon, making each day as rewarding as it is delicious.
