With renowned Chef Ari White taking the helm as Culinary Director, Shallots Bistro is unveiling an entirely new menu, bringing a fresh culinary vision to one of Chicago’s premier kosher dining destinations.

And this is only the beginning.

The first selection of dishes is debuting this week, with new additions rolling out every few days until the complete menu is introduced.

Among the first offerings are Ari’s signature Brisket King Hoagie, Apple & Oak Smoked Yardbird, Barbacoa Beef Tacos, and Espresso-Rubbed Hanger Steak, alongside a variety of new appetizers and seasonal creations.

It’s an exciting evolution for Shallots, combining its established fine-dining reputation with Chef Ari’s creativity, experience, and distinctive approach to kosher cuisine.

Here’s your first look at what’s coming out of the Shallots kitchen. And there’s plenty more on the way.

Big News for Chicago’s Kosher Food Scene!

Shallots Bistro has announced that Chef Ari White, widely known as the “Godfather of Kosher BBQ,” is joining the team as its new Culinary Director!

Ari is a pioneer in kosher barbecue, bringing authentic Texas-style BBQ to the kosher world through his famous Wandering Que. He’s also a two-time winner of NYC’s “Brisket King” competition and has spent decades making his mark on the kosher food scene.

Now he’s bringing that experience and creativity to Shallots Bistro right here in Chicago!

Shallots is preparing to introduce a new fall-inspired menu, with a soft opening scheduled for October 19th.

Welcome to Chicago, Chef Ari! We're excited to see what you bring to our kosher food scene!

Mazel Tov to Chicago’s own Moshe Zalman Olive!

Moshe, who grew up right here in Chicago, has built Zalman’s into a successful kosher restaurant chain with 12 locations in Israel and one right here in Chicago.

This week, it was announced that Moshe sold a 50% stake in Zalman’s for approximately $1.1 million, valuing the company at roughly $2.3 million — with plans for continued expansion.

We love seeing someone from our Chicago community doing big things in the kosher food world!

Mazel Tov Moshe — wishing you continued hatzlacha!

Huge shoutout to Candy Squared! ❤

For those who haven’t heard, there’s been a crew stationed at the parking lot on Devon right beside CD One Cleaners, booting cars almost immediately if someone leaves the lot — with a $185 removal fee.

Candy Squared came up with a brilliant solution: stop in, grab a FREE bag of popcorn, and then head across the street to the cleaners!

Nearly 100 bags of popcorn were handed out, helping our community avoid a very expensive headache.

Thank you, Candy Squared, for stepping up and looking out for the community!

“May his memory be a revolution."

Hundreds gathered yesterday in Skokie for the dedication of Hersh’s Fridge, created in memory of Hersh Goldberg-Polin z”l.

The 24/7 community fridge provides free kosher food to anyone who needs it, privately and with dignity.

And Chicago’s food community has stepped up in a big way. Local kosher restaurants, caterers and establishments donate surplus food, while hundreds of volunteers help collect, stock, clean and keep the fridges running.

Since launching, tens of thousands of pounds of kosher food have already been distributed to hundreds of our neighbors — and the fridges are now being accessed around 50 times a day.

It’s an incredible example of what can happen when kosher food, chesed and community come together.

And an especially meaningful way to honor Hersh’s legacy

Northbrook Days brought the flavor!

What an incredible response to Yalla!, Chabad of Northbrook’s kosher food stand at Northbrook Days!

Hundreds of festival-goers stopped by for delicious kosher food, and it was amazing to see kosher food represented at the festival for the first time.

A huge thank you to Chabad of Northbrook, led by Rabbi Meir and Miriam Moscowitz, who made this initiative happen and put it all together—and to everyone who came out and supported it.

We love seeing the Chicago kosher food scene continue to grow! 👏
