It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Jorge Hernandez, Houdini's beloved head chef, affectionately known as "Papi." Jorge was the sole employee who served at Houdini's from its opening day to its closing. His culinary expertise was the heart of many unforgettable dishes that graced the menu throughout the years. Always with a smile, he was not just a colleague but a friend to so many. As a devoted father to three daughters and one son, Jorge's warmth and kindness will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Join us in celebrating Jorge this Saturday March 1st from 12:00 to 4:00 at Mad Elephant.

Houdini's Escape Gastropub has made the difficult decision to close on July 16, 2023. We have had the pleasure of serving the Fox Valley Area for the past 10 years, but have continued to feel the lasting impacts that COVID-19 has had on the restaurant industry.

We are asking customers to use their gift cards prior to closing on 7/16/23. We will also be running 50% off top shelf alcohol while supplies last.

With Houdini's closure comes some exciting news. The building will be undergoing renovations to become the new home for Taste of Thai.

We would like to thank all of our loyal customers for their support throughout the years.
