Chicago, IL — In a vibrant corner of Chicago’s South Side, a Black woman–owned restaurant is turning the farm-to-table concept into a daily reality. Let’s Eat To Live is not just a restaurant — it is a living example of how food, community, and local farming can come together.

The restaurant, located at 621 East 67th Street, offers healthy, fresh meals to the surrounding neighborhoods. What makes Let’s Eat To Live especially unique is its deep commitment to growing and preparing its own ingredients. Instead of relying entirely on outside suppliers, this restaurant sources what it can from its own cultivated plots, bringing the farm closer to the kitchen.

The owners believe that controlling the growing process ensures the freshest flavors, the most nutritious produce, and fair treatment of the land. Local residents now enjoy daily meals cooked from scratch, featuring vegetables, herbs, and greens that were grown just miles away — or sometimes right behind the building.

The menu emphasizes both taste and health. While many restaurants focus on indulgence, Let’s Eat To Live offers a balance of deliciousness and nourishment. The dishes change with the seasons, taking advantage of whatever crops are thriving at the moment. This kind of flexibility is only possible when a restaurant is intimately connected to its gardens and fields.

Owners of the restaurant emphasize that their work is about more than food. It’s about empowerment, representation, and sustainability. In a city where many restaurants depend on large-scale supply chains, Let’s Eat To Live stands out by prioritizing control over its ingredients and honoring Black ownership.

Community members around the South Side have responded with excitement and support. Patrons like the idea of knowing where their food comes from, and of supporting a business that is rooted in local soil and local lives. For many, it feels like a return to something genuine and personal in the urban food scene.

As interest in local food grows across America, Let’s Eat To Live may become a model for others: you don’t have to be on a farm in the country to farm — you can bring the farm into your city, into your restaurant, and into your community.
