Update on our staff.

Every effort is being made to keep as many of our beloved employees gainfully employed, with as much work as possible. We’ve not only increased hourly pay for our front of house staff, but have maintained hours for back of house and kitchen staff employees. For some of our employees, it is simply best to file for unemployment and we’ve connected them with all the resources to do so. Finally, we’re matching $5,000 to each GoFundMe page set up by employees of our locations at Logan Square and Halsted and encourage you to support them as well.

Note about carryouts and curbside pickups:

Out of an abundance of caution for our staff, we are not offering carryouts or curbside pickups at this time. Thank you for your understanding.

Gettin' saucy with meal prep.

Sauces, dressings, and condiments can perk up a meal. Below we're sharing a few from our newest cookbook. Sauces and dressings aren't limited to serving on salads. You can also use them to dress up burgers, sandwiches, baked potatoes, steamed veggies, or use as dips.

Tomorrow: desserts!

Tahini Dressing

Yield: 1¼ cups

1. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients except the water.
2. Slowly add the water, 1 tablespoon at a time, while whisking constantly. Keep in mind that Tahini Dressing thickens over time, so you may want to add a little more water than you initially think. Add the water until you feel the dressing has reached the right consistency and taste for your needs. Use immediately or store in a jar for 2 weeks in the refrigerator. Shake well before serving after storage.

Cook’s Note: If you use roasted tahini, you'll need to use more water than you would with raw tahini. The amount of water really varies depending on the brand of tahini you choose, so just try adding 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time until the desired consistency is reached.

You may substitute lime in any recipe that calls for lemon.

Southwest Spice Dressing

Yield: 1¼ cups

1. In a blender, combine all of the ingredients and purée until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Use immediately or store in a container or jar for 2 weeks in the refrigerator. Shake well before serving after storage.

Simple Remoulade Sauce

Yield: 1½ cups

1. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together all the ingredients. Save any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
