We are visiting Middle Eastern flavors + peak Midwest summer produce with our August 2025 dinners.
Think pickled, fresh, and sweet melon kissed with pistachio dukka and feta. House-made hummus and pita topped with perfect summer eggplant and peppers. Salmon, slow-roasted and served with cool, crunchy veggies and herbs. Grilled kebobs over a plum and Sun Gold tomato studded tabbouleh. And juicy summer peaches whipped into a crisp and topped with black sesame ice cream.
Seasonal cooking at its core — these ingredients are a reflection of August, and we are loving being in this moment with them. This menu is not to be missed!
The dinner takes place in the same building as Honey Butter Fried Chicken, 3361 N. Elston Ave in Chicago. Dinners are communal seating, and BYOB. Dinners start promptly at 6:30pm. Reservations are required.

HBFC was born out of Sunday Dinner Club, a communal dining club, which was founded in 2005 by chefs Christine Cikowski and Josh Kulp. Their crowd favorite burger was sold at Chicago's Green City Market for 7 years before HBFC opened, as well as yearly dinners at SDC. Since SDC went on hiatus in 2022, the burger has only made one appearance to public which was HBFC's Roscoe Rewind. SDC, Josh and Christine are popping up once again on HBFC's 10th birthday to celebrate.
