Prairie Grass Cafe Valentine's Dinner at Home

Prairie Grass Cafe (601 Skokie Blvd., Northbrook) is offering a Valentine’s Day special menu and hand-crafted gourmet chocolate Turtles designed by Artisan Chef / Chocolatier Aaron Lindgren and Chef Sarah Stegner. The special menu is available for To Go Only. Prairie Grass Cafe will not be open for indoor dining on Valentine's Day. 

“I have done this through our initiatives with wellness programs, collaborations with sustainable farms and farmers, as a founding member of The Abundant Setting, women chef collaboration dinners, and more. This is a strategy that helps small businesses expand their reach and supports their mission,” said Stegner.

“We are in an era that is extremely difficult for restaurants. By taking a stand to help others, we are spreading the love with an extra sweet gesture this Valentine’s Day holiday with our partnership with Chicago Artizen,” said Stegner.

Chicago Artizen, is a holistic culinary company, focused on hand-crafted gourmet chocolates. “People tell us they ‘can’t get enough’, but we’ll let you decide. If you have a passion for nourishing the soul with food and being mindful of our role in the world, you’ve come to the right place for sharing,” says Lindgren, who is a classically trained chef and worked under Charlie Trotter for a number of years before joining The Ritz Carlton where he initially met and worked under Chef Sarah at the Dining Room. Says Sarah, “his chocolates are simply the best. I’m delighted to be working with him on this offer.”

The Chocolate Turtle Bombs included in each package features creamy butter caramel with Tahitian vanilla beans and roasted Three Sisters Garden pecans enrobed in American chocolate Guittard L'ETOILE DU NORD 64% and lightly dusted with extra brut cocoa.

Pre-orders must be placed by Thursday, February 11 (or until sold out).
