Sometimes it’s easier to save a life than serve a diner.
This is some of the wisdom I recieved from Nader Salti, a Jerusalem born practicing surgeon, who owns and operates Saltaus restaurant in Chicago’s West Loop neighborhood in his free time.
In this week’s podcast we talk about street food in Jerusalem, the challenges of restaurant entrepreneurship, and Saltaus chef Brad Phillips, previously of Nomi and Blackbird restaurants.

Hmmm. “Let food be your medicine and medicine your food,” said Hippocrates. Interestingly, this is not the only medical restaurateur in the region — the owner of Peacock, a fine Indian Restaurant in Vernon Hills, is a neurosurgeon — and a woman. So it looks like Hippocrates got that connection right.

I loved that place. But They decided to close and move on, alas!
