That’s the beautiful intersection where wisdom and food meet, and a story worth sharing. Octavia is a storyteller and has found some of the best stories are told while sharing a meal.

So pull up a chair to our table and listen while we digest some inspiration along with a delicious meal. We’re taking on the Chicago food scene in a whole new way.

“A foodie is a person who has an ardent or refined interest in food and who eats food not out of hunger but due to their interest or hobby. The terms “gastronome” and “gourmet” define the same thing, i.e. a person who enjoys food for pleasure.”

Keena is a foodie, aka gastronome, which means eating delicious meals is her hobby.
