Asparagus, cooked in its own juices with caramelized porcini, tahini, Pedro Ximénez, toasted rice, and minutina.

Nutty, vegetal, a little funky.

And, as art imitates life... an homage to how asparagus grows in the earth.

Scenes from Lincoln Park’s two best hours.

Come to Galit for the wood-fired pita and too much hummus. Head to Cafe Yaya for oysters and lamb burgers. Different vibes, same standard.

Pick one, or do both. We’re ready when you are.

Our four-course menu is a choose-your-own-adventure situation.

You get your own dessert, but we suggest you bring a friend who’s willing to swap bites.

Our very own Scott Stromer is headed to Oregon for this year’s No Kid Hungry —an organization doing the vital work of ending child hunger in America.

It’s a cause close to home for us at Galit and Cafe Yaya, and one Scott has supported for years, so this ride feels like a natural next step.

But we’ll let Scott take it from here. Give the video above a watch, and if you’re moved to support his journey, you’ll find the fundraising link waiting in our bio.

THIS is the weekend we wait for all year! SOIF weekend is back.

Eddie Chami and the crew have been crashing Galit every year since 2022. But for the first time, we’re making this a ticketed event at Cafe Yaya on Saturday, March 21 at 6:30 PM so we can actually fit everyone in.

Plus, we’re pouring some serious exclusives, including a Rosé and a Mersel Pinot Noir you won’t find anywhere else.

The food is made to complement the bottles: brisket hummus with smoky cinnamon, falafel with funky mango labneh... and yes, we’re bringing back the fan favorite Balkan Stuffed Cabbage just for this dinner.

Beyond the bottle, this is about the people. Eddie is the face of a new generation in Lebanon—taking UC Davis training and applying it to indigenous varietals and ancient, low-intervention techniques.

Alongside him, Michelle Chami and Claudine Lteif are running Heya (“she” in Arabic), making clean, honest wines while prioritizing equal pay and empowerment for the women who are the backbone of the industry.

The full menu and ticket link are live in our bio. Move fast; these seats won’t last!
