Cooked Express, Evanston

Chef Jona Silva knows pretty much every aspect of the restaurant business. He started his career as a dishwasher, went to culinary school, and worked his way up to being a successful restaurateur—but Chef Jona's fans don't need to even leave their homes to dine on his healthy, locally sourced cuisine.

Through Cooked, Chef Jona and his team come up with new breakfasts, lunches, and dinners every week. These meals are then delivered fresh straight to diners' doors, complete with heating instructions and biodegradable packaging.
