Ami Jerusalem Street Food Slated to Open Its Doors in the Spring

According to a recent post from Chicago Food Chat , ami Jerusalem Street Food will soon come to Highwood at 148 Green Bay Road.

A representative of ami Jerusalem Street Food was not immediately available for commentary upon What Now Chicago’s request.

According to ami’s Instagram biography section , the new Highwood spot aims to open sometime in the spring of this year.

An article from Chicago Food Magazine states, “Chef Ami Sananes, owner of Highwood’s new Ami Jerusalem Street Food restaurant (148 Green Bay Road, Highwood), is offering Jerusalem food options for Passover dinner.”

“While his Passover menu features traditional items like matzo ball soup and sliced beef brisket, he will also be offering Jerusalem-style dishes that he remembered as a child growing up in Jerusalem.”

“For Passover, Ami will be offering several a la carte options, as well as a full Passover dinner that serves 5 or 10 guests. Those who order will receive a box of matzo, matzo ball soup, one salad, a choice of two sides, four Israeli spreads, dips and salads, and one entrée.”

“I hope people choose to order some of the new options like our Jerusalem meatballs with artichoke, fennel and sweet peas or our Israeli eggplant salad,” said Ami in the Chicago Food Magazine article. “But, if they want to go with the more traditional seder meal, our sliced brisket with mushrooms and onions is an excellent choice!”
