Such a treat having Chef in the house and cooking for the whole crew. Chefs TQ and Nate worked together in SF and NYC and this Chitown reunion was ultra-special. What do you say we bring him back for a pasta class guest chef event???

Sausage + broccoli rabe are like Rocky and Adrian. We made our 06 Green Garlic Sausage Plin with Rapini Crema special happen to join these lovebirds in a new way. We love orecchiette, but knew the Plin would be a TKO.

This week’s 05 Green Pea Radiatori with Mushroom “Bolognese” scratches that early spring itch while we wait for all of our favorite ingredients to arise. This one eats light but delivers big with umami. Get yours before the weekend 😘

Lorighittas with Creamed Smoked Haddock 🤩
Handmade, twisting and turning each ring - traditionally this Sardinian shape is paired with fish or a light tomato sauce. We present ours with creamy, smoky, sublime haddock with leeks, fennel pollen and bay.
