As our Sunday Supper in the Suburbs series continues, we are thrilled to invite our good friends (and a hometown hero) the team from to join us for dinner on Sunday, September 13.

They’re making the trip ALL THE WAY FROM Kansas City, and they’re bringing all the energy. Anjin—an intimate 20-seat Japanese izakaya in KC’s Crossroads district—was named a 2026 James Beard Award finalist for Best New Restaurant (KC’s solo finalist!). They’re a tough ticket to grab in KC, and we’re so excited to host them that we’re closing down our dining room to give this collaboration the full-restaurant takeover it deserves.

Swipe for all the details.

Tickets are live now: https://www.opentable.com/booking/experiences-availability?rid=1406788&restref=1406788&experienceId=769982&utm_source=social&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=linktree

Just a quick reminder that our front patio is open and fully operational for family dinners, long catch-ups, and an extra round of drinks.

Come on through.

Cucumbers, sliced fresh from Persimmon Ridge, dressed in a sort of "pickle gravy”, if you will.

A bit of backstory: is the guy you’ll find drinking leftover pickle juice straight from the jar, always craving a little more zest with his pickles. To make that craveable juice actually stick, he took classic pickle spices, balanced the acidity, and turned it into a smooth, pourable sauce. Thin-sliced onions and citrus zest add a bright kick, inspired by an old family-favorite recipe.

Syllabub. Sourced with whatever fresh fruit Chef grabs from the market, the MOST indulgent whipped cream from , infused with ’s Song of Myself, all topped with a (gluten-free!) pecan shortbread.

The perfect way to end the evening.
We strongly suggest pairing this one with a Backlot martini or a digestive amaro.

sirloin with all the late summer fixings:

Charred kohlrabi, green beans, and sungolds tossed with berbere spice, dressed in a kosho (made from kumquats, cured by over the winter).

Sunday Supper is OFFICIALLY happening at Burl, and the lineup is unreal.

We wanted an excuse to team up with incredible chefs across Chicago, plus bring in a few friends from afar (shoutout to ANJIN!).

A taste of the city’s best dining, served right in our neighborhood on Sunday nights. Expect a vibrant, family-style dinner designed to be shared around the table: with old friends and hopefully some new ones too.

Keep an eye out here for future dinner details and drops.

Tickets for all of the dinner collabs are live right now—link in bio to grab a seat!

A little recap of the incredible start to our Sunday Supper in the Suburbs series. We couldn’t have kicked it off in better company.

Chef and the wonderful team from (of the .hospitality and family) set the table for a lively evening.
It was exactly the warm, generous, family-style supper that we hoped for. The perfect way to close out one week and welcome the next.

Thank you to everyone who came and made the evening what it was. And if you missed this one, don’t worry, there’s plenty more coming very soon.

Stay tuned. We’re just getting started.
