Comfort food takeout: gumbo, burgers, salmon, pasta
"This takeout-only South Loop spot from James Beard Award-winning chef Erick Williams (Virtue) specializes in satisfying and reliable everyday foods (think salads, sandwiches, and burgers). It also serves up a silky-smooth tomato basil soup that could evoke childhood memories, as well as Cajun chicken gumbo with gold rice and turkey chili. Williams took the name from the Bible and its famous verse on mustard seeds; this is a restaurant with community in mind." - Naomi Waxman

"This is a takeout restaurant from James Beard Award winner Erick Williams. It’s a departure from Virtue where Williams was looking to fill a niche: high-quality food with tons of options for families. Whether or not kids are involved, Mustard Seed has tasty burgers, glazed pork chops, tilapia, and a variety of pastas that are can be readily enjoyed in a convention goer’s hotel room. It’s better than room service." - Ashok Selvam
"From James Beard Award-winner Chef Erick Williams, Mustard Seed Kitchen offers delivery and takeout options designed for comfort and good eating. Stop in for tasty salads, warming soups, and mains like a fiery Cajun fettuccine, salmon tacos, and juicy burgers. For something sweet, Williams brought in some of the city’s best: treats from Brown Sugar Bakery. Inspired by faith and community, Chef Williams also uses this space to cook free meals for those who can’t pay. His mission? Spreading the seeds of respect and equality near and far." - Ariel Kanter
"Celebrated Chicago chef and restaurateur Erick Williams (Virtue) in 2021 debuted Mustard Seed Kitchen, a takeout-only restaurant starring American “everyday eats” — salads, sandwiches, burgers, and entrees like salmon and skirt steaks. Williams also applies his expert touch to a smooth, blended tomato basil soup that shouldn’t be missed." - Ashok Selvam
