Welcome to Funeral Potatoes

In March of 2020, chefs (and best friends) Alexis Rice and Eve Studnicka found themselves jobless due to the pandemic outbreak. Drawing inspiration from the meal trains, potlucks, and iconic hashbrown casserole that brought their hometown communities together during times of hardship, they began delivering take & bake entrees to their quarantined neighbors. 

The grassroots project soon grew into one of Chicago's most beloved virtual restaurants. For four and a half years, the duo and their team created over 200 menus, delivering to thousands of homes across Chicago. In 2022 they won Best Meal Kits by popular vote in the Chicago Reader. 

After a year-long search for a brick and mortar location, Funeral Potatoes made the kitchen at Portage Park's Moonflower bar their permanent home. Shifting from deliveries to dine-in, the team continues to serve up creative and comforting Midwestern folk cuisine - celebrating the seasons, flavors, and stories of he heartland with their community, in person at last.
