If you had told me a year ago as a pottery hobbyist that I'd be making custom pottery for a James Beard nominated chef duo, I would have laughed! Who knew that my tiered fruit bowls would catch Chef @rishimanojkumar 's eye and be a part of his vision for seafood platters. What an incredible feeling seeing my handmade pottery at new restaurant @marielachicago . It was a long process of trial and error (swipe for some BTS), and seeing my art serve a purpose and give a home to delicious food feels surreal. Thank you everyone for your kind words and support throughout and for Chef for trusting me with this project ❤️

@rishimanojkumar explains the history & mythology behind the name of @mirrachicago . Mirra is a crossroads cuisine as #Chef Rishi likes to say. An encounter between Mexican and Indian ingredients, cooking techniques and flavors. Truly, nothing else like it in the world. #Chicago #ChicagoChef #ChicagoFood

🌊 There was an infinite amount of love in @marielachicago on preview night! It wasn’t because of manufactured flash, a crazy marketing budget, or any contractual obligations…this was pure, unadulterated love for a group of guys who represent the best of us. I couldn’t be more proud of, and excited for, @rishimanojkumar @zubairmohajir and @davidmmor as they open up a new chapter in this hard to put down book. Would be remiss if I didn’t give a special shout to @kevasaurus1 🧑🏽‍🍳 and @rolli_polli94 🍸 …Can’t wait to visit you guys again soon 🌊 ***Also, one last shoutout to @yumwalla 👩‍🚀 for your wonderful approach and perspective covering our beautiful culinary community. #chicago #chicagorestaurants #chicagofood #newopening
