Five Chicago area chefs have banded together to cross-promote their restaurants, support each other and sell a gift certificate package. 


It also offers an opportunity for people to try different places.

Purchase your gift certificate package online by following the link below and pick up your certificates from Luella's Southern Kitchen (4609 N Lincoln Ave, Chicago, IL 60625).

We are taking every precaution to protect ourselves, our families, our employees, and our customers. Going forward, if we feel we are at risk because of exposure to Covid-19, we will do the right thing and cease operation until appropriate time and cleaning has taken place (as per the guidelines set forth by the state). Our philosophy is to take every precaution and put health over profit. This may affect our ability to fill your orders and honor your reservations.
