For all those who have grown up in Hype Park, or attended the University of Chicago what I’m about to say will be old news; because, during dinner time for almost twenty years Cedars restaurant has enjoyed great popularity in this community, and it continues to be a favorite caterer for the university at many of their larger events. But, for all of you who are thinking, “Mediterranean at my wedding?” I introduce to you the unique options of Cedars, an excellent way to serve your guest with a meal that is healthy, delicious, and satisfying.
What is Mediterranean food? Well there are many cultures that live along the Mediterranean Sea. But usually the term is used to refer to Palestinian, Lebanese, and Greek cuisines. The main course in Mediterranean food is usually mildly seasoned grilled lamb, beef, chicken, shrimp, or salmon served alongside mixed summer vegetables including ripe tomatoes and squashes sautéed in olive oil with a hint of garlic. The staple of this diet is rice and Couscous. Nutritionist are turning to this cuisine for it’s ability to offer a healthy, yet tasty meal alternative. Because it doesn’t use strong spices, excessive salt, or heavy oils, it’s not only appealing to a larger cross-section of the American population but it’s also considered healthy food. Mediterranean food is an old world wholesome way of eating that is arguable the basis for most of Europe’s cuisines. Yes, the food definitely takes you someplace else when you eat it, but it’s a familiar palatable experience. And, no one knows how to make your taste buds feel more at home than Cedar’s.
Shish-Kebobs are a popular cornerstone of Mediterranean cuisine; and, at Cedars boy do they know how to do Kebobs. Cedars has a wide variety of kebobs including beef tenderloin, chicken, salmon, shrimp, and kefta (a lamb and beef mixture). Cedars starts by combining green peppers, red peppers, and tomatoes on a skewers with their marinated meats. Then Cedars’s special touch is that they grill them at a very high temperature in their famous brick oven. The result is the best kebobs in Chicago. I usually order the kefta kebobs where Cedars combines minced lamb and beef by grinding them together with herbs and spices. Kefta kebobs are similar to the concept behind gyros (a Greek specialty) only Cedars’s kefta kebobs are a lot less salty and much tastier. The most popular of the kebobs are the chicken kebobs. The chicken is marinated in a variety of herbs including a hint of yellow curry and fresh lemon. Ceders’s kebobs would make a delicious addition at any gathering whether it’s an outdoor catered barbecue or a sit down affair where you want something a little more exciting than poorly seasoned chicken breast and steak.
Of course they can cater a formal dining event, or a buffet, but Cedars’s specializes in family style dinning. Cedars’s family style dining is a sure way to serve your guests plenty of good tasty food, and offer them a wide variety of dishes. For example you can have a family plate of Shrimp Kebobs, Chicken Kebobs, and lamb or beef at each table allowing your guest to enjoy three meat choices. Alongside the meats, Cedars is sure to provide a heaping family sized plate of sautéed vegetable and some rice at each table to accompany the meats and satisfy your vegetarian guest. Whatever you choose with Cedars’s family dining your guest will be presented with a feast beyond their imagination.
And on August 7th you will enjoy one of my favorites in the Loft on Lake when Atha Sharod Bridal host a "sneak preview" of our forth -coming collection, The White Collection - LUXE. Can't wait to see you all there. To RSVP to this event call (773) 285-1178
