ROSEMONT, Ill. (WLS) -- We are cooking up a storm with a new spot near O'Hare Airport!

Saltwater Coastal is bringing the flavors of the sea, to Rosemont.

The new nautical style space just opened last week in the Parkway Bank Entertainment District.

Executive Chef Cruz Goler joined ABC7 to make Maryland-style crab cakes.
