Very happy to have served a great meal with a new sidekick, Noel! This guy is a BEAST in the kitchen and taught me a thing or two! He’s a veteran in the industry!

The perfect Persian meal with my favorite Persian; my dear old pops. Yes, I know I’ve posted about him before but just LOOK AT HIM. He’s freaking adorable! We had Persian kabobs, with dill rice followed of course by tea and bamiye; like donuts with rosewater. And of course, dad always checks the bill to make sure no one is screwing him. Lol

Lobster is such a beautiful ingredient. It’s delicious by itself or as an ingredient. Either way, it’s always the star of the dish. Bucatini with lobster, cream, oregano & chili. Lobster avocado toast with arugula and red wine vinaigrette. Thanks to for providing the delicious lobsters. Best in town!

This…is Papa Cheftekar. He is a legend in my mind. We regularly dine at RPM Italian in Chicago. He is responsible for taking me all over the world and opening the door for inspiration in my life. I choose to celebrate him while he’s still with me; and take every moment available to spend time with him. Love you, dad!

Dearest friends and patrons. We regret that we have to close temporarily. We are booked through the holiday season and cannot take any new business. If you have booked an event with us, we will of course honor your event. Cheftekar will return with culinary fury sometime in 2022. Thank you all for the love and allowing me into your lives to cook for you. It has been an honor. ❤️👌🏼Soli Deo Gloria"

We’re back in it folks! We had a lovely birthday dinner last night for the Grabowski family celebrating their parents 70th birthday. We hate to brag but, we heard a lot of “best I’ve ever had...” being thrown around. We’d argue if we could! 🤷‍♂️
