Brought the family to @thattuchicago today which won a #ChicagoRecoveryPlan community development grant for $233k back in 2022 to transform a shuttered factory into a beautiful restaurant and amenity for the neighborhood. Was a joy meeting owners Vinod and Margaret and enjoying their recipes from Kerala.

YES! Been saying for years that we should be like Europe and end tipping

Bake (pun intended) the full price of the meal into the bill

And while we’re at it, do this for EVERYTHING!

Tipping is uncomfortable and creates friction, so it’s inefficientd

"This whole tipping thing creates a little bit of friction between the team. It becomes competitive. It pits everybody against each other. It also creates bad behavior for the customer. It's just one more friction point. Let's take that whole thing away.” @CheckpleaseDave interviewing the team at @thattuchicago via @CrainsChicago

Thanks @stevedolinsky for our wonderful @nbcchicago feature!! 💚🙏🙌🌴🌱 #thattuchicago

[Steve Dolinsky @stevedolinsky]

There aren’t that many restaurants in Chicago focusing on the food from Kerala, the Southernmost state of India, which is why I think Thattu is so special. My latest here for @nbcchicago https://t.co/TCYZmJ8JIs

[Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago @mcachicago]

Continuing on the successes of past chef collaborations, the MCA has partnered with Chef Margaret Pak of the newly opened restaurant Thattu (@thattuchicago) to continue to help uplift the culinary talents that make up the city’s food scene.

Inspired by the cuisine of her husband's home, Kerala, the southwestern coastal state of India, Chef Pak says: “I'm so grateful and honored to represent Thattu and my love of Kerala cuisine at MCA. It is a dream to share our Kerala Fried Chicken Sandwich beyond our restaurant, and highlight Indian regional cuisine that is too often under-represented.”

Chef Pak’s addition to the menu is available on Marisol’s (@marisol_chicago) lunch menu for a limited time only.
