Many-hued cooking styles exemplify the rich history and culture of China. From the northern Szechwan chili spices to the southern ginger roots the reward of its perfumed aromas and taste is simply splendid.
Lately, Chinese buffets have been popping up like wild mushrooms. When the main interest is to offer quantity, quality has sadly faded away.
When I hear people referring to the art of Chinese cooking as now being represented by the popularity of Chinese Buffets…I weep bitterly.
As one of the few iconoclasts who still likes to cook Chinese with pride and joy, I want to invite you to Friendship, where your taste buds will witness the infinite richness of what Chinese cooking was meant to be.

"Dreams are best realized when other people can see them" Although I went to college with a dream of being a writer I don't think it’s a mistake I developed a love of cooking. In my family the best memories were created when we all got together for events involving cooking.
My passion for cooking derives from a basic concept of enjoying making people happy, creating laughter and memories all through food.
My family has a long history of high blood pressure and diabetes. I lost my mom to complications derived from high blood pressure when I was 18 and she was 36.
Our restaurant emerged from the idea that we can eat healthier foods without compromising flavor and variety. My menu was carefully crafted to appeal to folks that aren't necessarily health conscious but consciously in need of healthier eating habits. We decided to create a menu of all Grilled Foods, Salads and Fruits....our signature rule at The Taste of Pulaski "NEVER FRIED" is the foundation our restaurant was built on.

Not long ago, the average person regarded Mexican Food as being limited to tacos, enchiladas and mouth-boiling salsas. Few people were actually aware of the vast array of sauces, spices, and flavors that make the Mexican cuisine so unique. For nearly thirty years, Lalo's Restaurants has taken pride in bringing this refined cuisine to Chicago. Lalo's traces it's roots to a small 24 seat restaurant located in the heart of Chicago's Mexican Community. By following a strict policy of only serving top quality, authentic dishes; that small restaurant steadily grew in popularity. Soon, this location became too small to serve the needs of its existing clientele. Lalo's soon expanded to a full-sized restaurant just two blocks away. By establishing the same food systems and serving the same traditional Mexican dishes (all of which were adopted from family recipes) the restaurant was able to gain more customers. In fact, demand was so big in this area that another unit was opened less than a mile away.

Chef Clifford Rome, President of Rome’s Joy, brings over 15 years of experience to the field of food service
Chef Rome took a turn at fine dining with Wolfgang Puck and Francois Dongo of “Spago”, as a line chef and a member of their catering team—creating meals for photo shoots and Oscar parties. While working at Spago, he studied in Paris and worked with other chefs who trained under Puck. Chef Rome has received recognition as a talented chef by local, national and international media. From 1998 through 2003, Chef Rome was one of five chefs working at the Cannes International Film Festival’s American Pavilion—alongside master chefs Roger Verge, Bobby Flay, Mario Batali and Todd English.

Rome’s Joy provides catering for a variety of occasions and a diverse client base.
Founder, Maya-Camille Broussard, has spent the past 15 years working as a culturist, curator, designer and creative entrepreneur. As a culinary hobbyist, her love for food served as the impetus for establishing Justice of the Pies in honor of her late father, Stephen J. Broussard. Stephen Broussard practiced and specialized in criminal law in Chicago. As a defense attorney, he was passionate about the idea that his clients deserved second chances. When asked why he would represent people whom have been accused of rather heinous crimes, his philosophy was simply this: “If I don’t defend them, then who will?” Steve also had an epicurean spirit and considered himself to be a semi-professional baker. He was so highly convinced that he made the very best pies and quiches that he declared himself to be the Pie Master. The staff at Justice of the Pies include people who have faced significant difficulties and barriers in gaining employment. In creating Justice of the Pies, Maya-Camille is honoring her late father’s belief in redemptive opportunities as well as his love for anything made with a crust.
