Title(s)

Chef/Partner, Sunday Dinner Club

Summary

Sunday Dinner Club isn't an underground restaurant. Heck, it's not even really underground since everyone knows about it. But not everyone can get in. See, you have to know someone on the mailing list to score an invite to our monthly dinners hosted in our own homes. This way, everyone is connected to someone and the dining experience feels less exclusive speakeasy and more fun dinner party. Which is how we like it. Our food is decidedly very Chicago- we cook with what is seasonally available here and adapt traditional recipes and techniques from all cuisines to dovetail with our Midwest growing season. Y'all can also find us slingin' fresh ground burgers at the Green City Market on Saturdays May-October.
