Hey, why the long “E”? Because the name of the restaurant is Ema — as in “mother” — and it’s finally open in Chicago’s River North neighborhood.
Chef C.J. Jacobson’s menu is inspired by his time in Israel as a professional volleyball player. Spicy hummus, lamb kefta kebabs, kebabs, fresh salads and house-made bread are among the offerings.
