@tastewithjais http://tastewithjais.com/ “Loving Chicago is like loving a woman with a broken nose – you may well find lovelier lovelies, but never a lovely so real” – Nelson Algren After nearly 22 hours of traveling, he remembers stepping off the plane and walking down the steps onto the tarmac. It was about 5:00 am and the sun was peeking out from behind the tall palm trees. It was hot, humid, and muggy. That’s when it hit him – the smell. It was a fascinating combination of wood smoke, spices, and putrefying garbage. He had never experienced anything quite like it. Like someone coming out of a coma, his senses awoke, and he got the chance to digest what was around him – India. You can’t predict where life’s going to take you, but with an open mind you can embrace where you are going. Upon landing in Mumbai, he didn’t know what was in store for him. It was his first time traveling abroad as an adult. He didn’t speak the language — nor was he fully involved in the culture — but he had a voracious appetite

ABOUT US The shop opened in June 2012 in Pilsen arts district. The idea was to create a small artisan chocolate and confection shop, with a nod to those in France and Spain. They infuse our French culinary training with our South Asian heritage by creating chocolates such as hazelnut coriander praline, Indian chili caramel, and many others. The studio serves as an open-air kitchen and retail area. As soon as you walk in, you can see the chocolatiers hard at work each day, creating high quality chocolates from scratch in small batches. Details are an imperative part of the shop, so each and every part of the process is important. They use the highest quality ingredients and chocolate including single origin chocolates from Ghana, Mexico, and Tanzania. OUR PHILOSOPHY They are guided by three principles – to always seek inspiration, support the community, and act with intention.

“Co-owners Katie Morgan and Charlie Davis were introduced by a mutual friend in Chicago in the summer of 2011. Charlie was a professional brewer in Chicago at the time. He decided to try and woo her by making a hard cider for her birthday. It worked, and Right Bee Cider was born. Right Bee Cider officially launched in November 2014, after two years of planning and preparation. The Chicago-based duo has taken the city by storm, creating a unique, unfiltered, dry cider that is currently on tap at 30 bars and restaurants around the city. They are the only two people in their company, and have done everything themselves since the beginning. “We create, package, and distribute our cider ourselves,” Katie says. “I hand paint the taphandles, Charlie has built most of our equipment by hand… this is truly a labor of love.” They were featured on the cover of Chicago’s RedEye, The Chicagoist, Crain’s Business Chicago, and they won a Sam Adams competition in May 2015 where they competed for the National finals in New Yor

Justin Doggett, owner & founder of Kyoto Black, is a cold brew fanatic and he created Kyoto Black because he believes Kyoto Style is the best way to cold brew coffee. Kyoto Style coffees have better flavors, smoother textures and no sediment. Oddly enough, the style is mostly unknown, even though cold brew has exploded in popularity. His first experience drinking Kyoto Style cold brew was in 2011. That cup was not great, but the experience of drinking it was so different that he had to pursue it. Kyoto Style clearly had a lot of potential and he wanted to unlock it. One year later he created his first custom home brewer. https://kyotostylecoffee.com/
