Lula Cafe quickly became a staple shortly after I moved to Logan Square in 2001. In 2012, Jason Hammel took a risk on a 2nd career gardener with a crazy desire to bring edible gardens to restaurants. That gardener was me & the garden proposal I pitched to Jason that April helped launch ! I feel so honored & lucky to still be tending ’s onsite gardens & call this culinary institution my 2nd home. To 20 more years!

ABC7's Steve Dolinsky paid a visit to Lula Cafe to see how the Logan Square restaurant continues to adapt and improve after 20 years.

Love working on this ongoing 🌶 project with Big Jones! Part of our service ecosystem is contract acreage, where we grow specialty crops by request. In this case, we started with saved fish pepper seeds and after 3 years, find ourselves with not only 1 but 2 new open-pollinated varieties! So excited to see what next year’s saved seed brings.

This year’s first picking of chilies by and we are all like 🤩😍🥰 left to right a ripe fish pepper, then a not-quite-ripe fish pepper with its flamboyant stripes, then our successive planting of the new “Bronzeville” pepper reproduced true to form, we folks, we’ve got a brand new open-pollinated pepper never before seen! And last on the right is a new cross, mildly spicy and candy sweet, we’ll plant this next year and see if they reproduce true to form. Stay tuned!
