Swell Mission

Let me take you back to a slower and more genteel time. A place where people had time to spend the entire evening gathered around the kitchen table completely engaged in each other’s company and conversation while feasting on a delightful spread.  Where the bread was always homemade; the stock was made from scratch; the lemonade never came from the store; the herbs were always freshly picked from the garden, and the napkins were always cloth.

We here at Swell Happenings are somewhat stuck in that fantastical time and place and we want you to join us.  We offer you the chance to gather around the table with us, to enjoy our multi course feast, and to share in stories and conversation.

We are a Slow Food seasonal supper club, using the best that Mother Nature has to offer. We take simple ingredients and transform them into mouthwatering dishes. In this fast paced world of over processed, refined, “convenient“ foods,  we offer a more thoughtful and deliberate relationship  to food and dining.  We use a whole foods philosophy with a  vegetable centric  approach to cooking, without compromising on flavour or taste. We support local and organic farmers and food producers, whenever possible.  Whether from Dirt Doll, Chicago’s farmers markets, or our own garden and urban homesteading. We always strive to use the best available natural ingredients.

Reservations are taken in the form of a suggested donation, and always BYOB.
