We recently came across some old photos from when we started the current chapter of Junebug, and they reminded us just how grateful we are for the journey we've been on.

Some of you may remember our humble beginnings on Irving Park Road, or our short-but-sweet second location down in West Town... before landing in what has been our incredible home for the last 3Ā½ years, in the space that used to be Fannie's!

Through all of those changes, some things never changed, though: our love for delicious food and the wonderful people who keep showing up for us.

Whether you've been with us since day one or just discovered Junebug last week, we're so happy to have you in our Junebug family. Thank you for being part of our story!

Here's to where we've been, where we are, and all the amazing things still to come.

Junebug šŸ©· y'all!

We will be here for you till 1pm today!

Upon closer inspection, the Bean Pie is exploding with flavor! šŸ‘€

Red beans & rice, green pepper, onion, Maeā€™s spices and Monterey cheese ā€” of course with a side of our addictive remoulade.

We canā€™t promise you wonā€™t need to come back again (...and again) to get your fix!

Look who stopped by Junebug! šŸ‘‹

We had the pleasure of welcoming Congressman Mike Quigley in for a visit the other day ā€” and showing him a little Junebug hospitality while he was here.

Whether youā€™re a longtime regular, visiting the neighborhood for the first time, or running for mayor of Chicago, our door is open and weā€™re always happy to have you. šŸ’œ

Thanks for stopping by, Rep. Mike Quigley!

Weā€™re still buzzing about how well our Chicken Curry Gumbo went over at Chicago Gourmet yesterday ā€” and weā€™ve got plenty left for you to try!

Swing on by for a taste and grab a 12-pack Beignet Box while youā€™re here.

Because honestlyā€¦ gumbo and beignets are good ANY time of day šŸ™Œ

We had an AMAZING time at Chicago Gourmet today!

Weā€™ll have it all week long ā€” until itā€™s gone.

Come get you some! ā¤ļø

Todayā€™s the day! šŸŽ‰

Chef Chris and co-owner Jacqueline are headed to Millennium Park for Chicago Gourmetā€™s Rise & Shine, and we couldnā€™t be more excited for them!

Chris will be serving up a special Curry Chicken Gumbo inspired by the incredible culinary traditions of Chef Faraz Sardharia of Tandoor Char House ā€” a little Junebug Louisiana soul meeting the flavors of India.

But before the big day gets underway, we just want to say THANK YOU.

To every person who has walked through our doors, ordered a handpie, shared a bowl of gumbo, grabbed a box of beignets, told a friend about us, left us a review, or simply kept coming back ā€” you helped make moments like this possible.

We love our Junebug family more than you know. ā¤ļø

Help us wish Chris and Jacqueline an AMAZING day at Chicago Gourmet!

Go make us proud, yā€™all. šŸ„³

Weā€™re getting SO excited for Chicago Gourmetā€™s Rise & Shine!

On Sunday, September 27 at Millennium Park, Chef Chris of Junebug and Chef Faraz Sardharia of Tandoor Char House will each be serving their own dish, taking inspiration from each otherā€™s menus and traditions.

For Chef Chris, that means Curry Chicken Gumbo ā€” a Junebug creation inspired by the rich cultural and culinary heritage Chef Faraz brings to Tandoor Char House every day.

And donā€™t worry, Junebug familyā€¦ weā€™re saving some of that deliciousness for yā€™all, too. Curry Chicken Gumbo will be making its way to Junebug the week after the event!

We canā€™t wait. šŸ’—
