As we gear up for tomorrow’s Snail of Approval Party, meet poplar, one of five winners this year . Poplar in Brightwood Park is a “hyper-seasonal” restaurant that features foraged ingredients from spring through autumn and purchases other items directly from local farms and esteemed purveyors. Chef Iulian seeks out the most astounding ingredients and offers small- and medium-sized plates that showcase them.

“Poplar is striving to be a central part of the community. We are focused on being fully transparent on ingredient sourcing, with an emphasis on local and foraged ingredients. We want to make good and interesting food accessible to everyone in our community.” -Chef Iulian
