A Latin-Inspired Steakhouse With Huitlacoche Bordelaise Will Arrive on Randolph Restaurant Row
An unlikely steakhouse will rise from the team behind Diego, the casual mariscos-centric bar in West Town. It wasn't the restaurant that chef Stephen Sandoval and Oscar Sotelo planned on opening next, but the opportunity proved too good to pass up. Trino is targeted for a late July opening in the West Loop, replacing Japanese restaurant Komo along Randolph Restaurant Row. A new basement bar, a cozy speakeasy-style spot called Laberinto, will complement the restaurant. Trino will debut before Sueños, Sandoval's much-anticipated West Town restaurant that grew from a pop-up and recently finished up a residency at Soho House. 'Trino was always in the books but, like Diego, it came about unexpectedly,' Sandoval says. 'The universe works in crazy ways.' To introduce the public to Trino, Soho House will host six pop-ups from June 20 to June 28. Trino draws inspiration from Sandoval's family connections to Northern Mexico and Spain's Galicia, as well as his time in 2014 spent cooking in Argentina with chef Francis Mallman, a live-fire cooking aficionado. 'These are all regions with deep steakhouse traditions,' Sandoval says. Sandoval will also pay homage to the classic Chicago steakhouses, favorites for himself and his grandfather whom the restaurant is named for — Sandoval also shares the same middle name. Appetizers will include a crab salad served on Sandoval's signature tostada made famous at Diego. A savory quemada crème fraiche, which uses a toasting technique to add smoky flavor, will pair with chicharron and potato chips. Pulpo Gallego, a classic octopus dish from Galicia, will be on the menu too. Dinner rolls are served with a sweet-and-fatty browned butter on the side. Pasta, another steakhouse given, looks to Mexico City for Trino's bucatini Polanco, referencing CDMX's upscale neighborhood. It's made with a poblano wine sauce. Mac and cheese comes with a lobster claw, and the refried beans are made with duck fat and topped with a dollop of salsa cruda. Sauces will play prominently at Trino, as they do at Diego and Sueños. For their seafood tower, you'll find a classic cocktail sauce and other 'fun dipping sauces.' Sandoval loves potatoes so much that they earn a separate section on the menu, and Trino will serve a special potato of the day. Sauces also come into play with the beef, including a huitlacoche bordelaise and a cherry-churri, a seasonal play on Argentina's signature chimichurri. For the steaks themselves, Sandoval is still deciding on a specific vendor, but classics like ribeye and a bone-in filet will be on the menu. A bavette steak, traditionally a cheaper cut that can be made tender through technique, will be Trino's substitute for skirt. 'We also want to have more affordable but underrated options to some of the classics,' he says. 'You shouldn't have to break the bank to have a nice steakhouse dinner.' To cook the steaks, which will have spent time in an on-site dry-ager, Sandoval is opting to use a high-powered plancha grill, called a 'chapa' in Argentina, that reaches up to 850 degrees. 'It's one of Mallmann's favorite ways to cook steak,' he says. 'I used one years ago and haven't seen it in Chicago, especially not in a steakhouse, but I think it's exactly what we need to get that deep Maillard crust.' For the design, which is mostly under Sotelo's purview, the group is working with AGN Design's Aida Napoles. The space will seat about 85 at its white tablecloth-topped tables. There will be touches of bright colors and moody lighting, and like at Diego, they'll feature plenty of pieces by artist friends. Beverage director Carolina Gonzalez, who curates drinks at Diego and the Sueños pop-up, is working on Trino's cocktail program. Originally from Mexico City but raised in Chicago, Gonzalez is looking toward Mexico, Galicia, and Argentina for ingredients and inspiration. There's a savory Negroni made with olive oil-washed Campari with mole notes. A yerba mate martini utilizes cold fusion techniques to extract the herb's flavors minus its bitterness. Gonzalez is also experimenting with Fernet Branco for an aperitif or dessert cocktail. For the spirit selection, Gonzalez will focus on small producers, woman-owned when available, and purveyors who give back to their communities. Gonzalez is also in charge of the beverage program for the speakeasy. Laberinto, which means 'maze' or 'labyrinth' in Spanish, will have 10 to 20 seats. Rather than a set menu, the bartenders will work with guests to create drinks for a dealer's choice option. 'There's somewhat of a disconnect with people right now, and we want to have that human interaction at Trino,' she says. DJs and local musicians will also perform. With Trino, Diego, and Suenos, Sandoval and Sotelo are working toward a new hospitality group, 5 Sueños, that offers Chicago something different. 'At Trino, we can start to bring in key players and grow with them,' Sandoval says. 'Our goal is to build a brand that sets a new benchmark for what a thoughtful, culinary-driven, Latin-owned hospitality group can look like within the city.' Trino, 738 W. Randolph Street, planned for a late July opening. Trino preview pop-up at Soho House, 125 N. Green Street, from June 20 to June 28, tickets via Tock Sign up for our newsletter.

EvianCX CEO Victor Sandoval Unveils Vision for Blockchain-Driven Financial Inclusion at CryptoExpo Dubai 2025
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, May 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Victor Sandoval, the visionary CEO of blockchain pioneer EvianCX , made a powerful appearance at CryptoExpo Dubai 2025, held at the Dubai World Trade Centre on May 21–22. As a recognized leader in decentralized finance (DeFi), Sandoval captivated attendees with a compelling vision for the role of blockchain in promoting global financial inclusion—highlighting EvianCX's strategic expansion into the Middle East and the company's long-term commitment to transforming financial access through innovative, decentralized technologies. A Gathering of Global Blockchain Innovators CryptoExpo Dubai brought together a powerful cross-section of the blockchain and Web3 ecosystem, including regulators, technologists, investors, and startup leaders. This year's agenda focused on DeFi, crypto regulation, Web3 adoption, and the future of tokenized assets. With Dubai positioned as a rising global hub for digital innovation, Sandoval's presence underscored EvianCX's strategic alignment with the region's economic vision—and his address emphasized how blockchain can help accelerate inclusive growth in emerging markets. Sandoval: Bridging Continents Through Blockchain In his remarks and discussions, Sandoval spoke at length about EvianCX's success in Latin America, where the company helped reshape digital finance in countries like El Salvador and Panama. He detailed how decentralized technologies enabled millions of unbanked individuals to access savings, lending, and cross-border payments without reliance on traditional institutions. Sandoval presented EvianCX's key innovations, starting with tokenized asset frameworks that enable cross-border capital flow with greater transparency and speed. He explained how these frameworks have allowed users in Latin America to invest, transfer, and manage digital assets in ways previously limited to financial elites—stressing that the same tools can be customized for the Middle East. He also introduced the company's DeFi platforms, explaining how these allow everyday users to participate in lending, staking, and wealth-building. 'We designed these platforms to be as accessible as they are secure,' Sandoval told the audience. 'When we take the power of finance and place it into the hands of everyday people, we begin to see structural shifts in economic mobility.' On the regulatory front, Sandoval outlined EvianCX's approach to compliance-focused innovation. He emphasized that building trust in DeFi requires 'not just technical resilience, but legal integrity.' He shared how EvianCX works closely with policymakers in every jurisdiction it enters to build bridges between decentralized ecosystems and regulatory mandates—an approach he believes is essential to sustainable Web3 adoption. High-Level Discussions at CryptoExpo Dubai Throughout the event, Sandoval participated in high-level discussions about how blockchain can be safely scaled across different sectors. He spoke on panels addressing regulatory synergy, advocating for policy frameworks that allow innovation without sacrificing consumer protection. He also contributed to conversations on enterprise blockchain adoption, offering advice for traditional businesses looking to make the leap into Web3 infrastructure. 'Events like CryptoExpo Dubai are where regulators and disruptors come together to write the next chapter of finance,' said Sandoval. 'This is where we identify opportunities, resolve tensions, and build partnerships that will shape economic systems for decades.' He added, 'Our work in Latin America has proven that blockchain can knock down barriers. Now, in the Middle East, we're ready to build bridges—between public and private sectors, between the regulated and the decentralized, between today's limitations and tomorrow's possibilities.' Sandoval Unveils EvianCX's UAE Roadmap During his address, Sandoval also announced that EvianCX has established its Middle Eastern headquarters in Dubai, aligning with the UAE's National Blockchain Strategy, which targets sector growth to $41 billion by 2030. He explained that the company's decision was driven by Dubai's clear regulatory frameworks, digital-forward infrastructure, and strong governmental support for blockchain development. Outlining EvianCX's roadmap for the region, Sandoval detailed a multipronged strategy. He discussed the launch of Arabic-language blockchain literacy programs, including technical workshops and interactive tutorials for both businesses and individuals. 'Financial inclusion starts with education,' he told the audience. Sandoval also announced the rollout of secure digital wallets, designed specifically for users in the Middle East. These wallets, he explained, will offer a seamless way to manage cryptocurrency and tokenized assets, with localized support and features tailored to the cultural and regulatory landscape. Another area of focus he shared was remittance innovation. Sandoval described how EvianCX is developing blockchain-based remittance tools that drastically cut costs and waiting times for cross-border transfers. Looking Ahead: Building Bridges with Blockchain 'Dubai is where vision meets execution,' Sandoval said in closing. 'We're proud to stand alongside the region's innovators and regulators as we shape a decentralized financial future—one that empowers individuals, strengthens economies, and brings the benefits of blockchain to everyone, everywhere.' As the conference concluded, EvianCX emerged not just as a tech leader, but as a bridge-builder—connecting continents, communities, and futures through the power of blockchain.

Pregnant mom in Ohio files lawsuit to stay in America and not be separated from her autistic U.S. citizen son
A pregnant Mexican mother in Ohio sued the Trump administration this week, arguing that her potential deportation would violate the rights of her U.S. citizen son, a 9-year-old with autism, as well as those of her unborn child. Carmen G. Guerrero Sandoval, who was reportedly denied asylum five years ago, has been in a state of legal 'limbo' since, her lawyer George Katchmer told The Independent. Sandoval was recently ordered to present herself to Immigration and Customs Enforcement on June 3. It's not 100 percent certain that she will be arrested once she meets with immigration officials, Katchmer said, but Sandoval was inspired to file the suit given the raft of cases of immigration officials detaining migrants at legal appointments. 'People have been showing up to these meetings and being snatched,' Katchmer said. The suit, filed in Ohio federal court on Monday, argues that any potential removal would infringe on the rights of Sandoval's children. Under Ohio law, unborn children are legally considered people, and people in the state can sue if the government interferes with their family relations against the best interest of the child. Sandoval's son is currently recognized for special needs accommodations in his Columbus public school, a form of care the complaint says is unavailable in Mexico. The complaint adds that removing Sandoval would violate her son's due process rights and amount to unconstitutional cruel and unusual punishment, as well as differential treatment of the child based on his ethnicity. It also raises the question about what rights Sandoval's unborn child, due in October, has in the situation. The U.S. Supreme Court is currently considering legal challenges to the Trump administration's attempts to end constitutional protections for birthright citizenship for all those born in the U.S., regardless of their parents' legal status. In response to the Ohio suit, the Justice Department pointed to the case of a minor who sued on similar grounds to challenge the removal of his father, a Pakistani green card holder, where administration lawyers say courts struck down the challenge because it would create a 'loophole' in immigration law.
