Join JBF Greens for a modern take on traditional Ukrainian fare at Anelya in Avondale.

Open since Fall 2023, Anelya is a personal project for James Beard Award Winner® Johnny Clark who was chef/co-owner of acclaimed Parachute and Wherewithall with his wife Beverly Kim. Named for his late grandmother, Anelya began as a pop-up to provide humanitarian aid to the region with an opening team comprised of Ukrainian refugees.

As leaders in the community, chefs Johnny and Beverly are also the co-founders of The Abundance Setting, which aims to address gender inequity in the hospitality industry, and the creators of a movement called #doughsomething, in which over 100 restaurants nationwide came together to raise funds for Asian Americans Advancing Justice.

For the occasion, chef Johnny will prepare a 3-course menu that explores Ukrainian culinary traditions and modern preparations as inspired by his recent trip to the region.
