Tuesday was move-in day at Everly on the Loop — the pricey new high-rise on Delmar targeting students at Washington University and other nearby colleges .

Just ask Brendan McGill , founder of Hitchcock on Bainbridge Island and the fabulously popular Bruciato pizzeria across the street. On one recent morning McGill sauntered into his Hitchcock Deli, adjacent to his farm to table eatery and had to rescue a barista who was wrestling with a plugged up coffee grinder. With a few flicks of his wrists and some gentle instruction, he saved the day as customers were beginning to line up. “It’s great to be able to do most of this stuff myself,” says the 37-year-old award-winning chef and successful entrepreneur . “It’s a good ...
