WCVB’s Chronicle tours Lou’s, the Harvard Square restaurant and music venue named for Cambridge businessman Louis DiGiovanni, where the “stay all day, play all night” spirit brings together food, DJs and local talent like trombonist Brian Thomas of the BT All Stars. Executive chef Jason Bond explains how his seasonal, locally sourced menu, from swordfish to Cape Cod clams, draws on classic Boston clubs and restaurants like Locke-Ober.
