Get Dave back cooking!
Donation protected
I’m Sara Glatt, daughter of the infamous Dave who had owned and operated Evanston's legendary Dave's Italian Kitchen for 44 years. Unfortunately and for reasons chronicled in the local press, he was forced to close abruptly April 11.
Due to his subsequent unemployment, I have started a business to get him back to work and get his food back to our beloved patrons. I love my parents but do not want them living with me! Dave soon will be a employed pizza-maker extraordinaire at my fledgling venture, Dave’s Kitchen. Several private individuals have lent us money at favorable terms and some others have donated commercial kitchen equipment. The restaurant is capitalized at over $100,000 and we’re about $20,000 away. We need to buy ovens and refrigerators. And we knead a dough mixer ;)
Though a majority of Evanston’s aldermen have expressed a willingness to extend a loan to us, we would prefer not to do that as the City has more pressing needs. I will be re-employing many of our recently unemployed staff and we would love to open around Memorial Day.
If you’re a supporter and a sympathetic child, parent, eccentric philanthropist or nostalgic Evanstonian, please help get this restaurant off the ground and get Dave back into the kitchen!
Dave's has been an important part of the community and has donated tens of thousands of dollars to local causes. Please help Dave continue his random acts of kindness. Thank you!
