WHEATON, IL — Dough and the Backyard recently rebranded its restaurant space to Front Street Kitchen, pivoting away from its pizza-focused menu to offer customers a wider range of modern American cuisine.

The new menu features items like the chimichurri quinoa salad, a buffalo shrimp po' boy, red wine-braised short rib and spaghetti puttanesca with shrimp.

Diners can still order pizza, with options that include margherita, prosciutto and goat cheese and lemon capri.
