A note about serious food allergies
Let's hear it for the patriotic pecan. Thomas Jefferson planted pecans at Monticello. (He called them “Illinois nuts,” which gives us at Home Chef HQ in Chicago a bit of pride.) He gave the seeds to George Washington, who planted some pecans at Mt. Vernon. Now ask, what have pistachios or walnuts done lately to show their love of the USA? The pecan is number one in this meal as well, partnering with goat cheese to top those sweet sweet potatoes with something special. USA! USA!
