About Greg Wade: Leading America’s bread renaissance in Chicago is Greg Wade, Managing Partner at Publican Quality Bread, the renowned bakery under the Publican family of restaurants by Chicago’s nine-time James Beard Award-winning One Off Hospitality group and partners. After graduating Illinois Institute of Art’s Culinary Program, Wade started his career specializing in breads and pastries. Joining Publican Quality Bread as head baker in 2014, Wade has transformed the concept’s baking program from a seedling operation within Publican Quality Meats to a highly successful wholesale division that works hand-in-hand with One Off Hospitality’s other concepts as well as the top chefs, farmers and retail owners in the Windy City. In 2022, Wade and partners opened a standalone bakery for Publican Quality Bread, bringing his award-winning loaves and an expanded menu to a public-facing location for the first time ever. Specializing in whole grains and fermentation, Wade was honored with a James Beard Award for “Outstanding Baker” in 2019. He is the author of “Bread Head: Baking for the Road Less Traveled” and has been featured in the recently released documentary, "Sustainable: A Documentary on the Local Food Movement in America."
