Introduction: The Food! Here at Rustic Roots, we’re passionate about food, plain and simple. We believe food should nourish your stomach, satisfy your appetite, and indulge your palate—and that philosophy inspires every dish we create. As the “rustic” part of our name suggests, we gather our ingredients from local farms and use time-honored techniques to produce fresh, flavorful food. Partnering with local farmers, producers, and artisans also allows us to incorporate seasonal flavors and organic ingredients. In addition, we enjoy collaborating with wineries, distilleries, and breweries to marry food and drink, heightening the overall flavor experience. Specializing in the art of smoked foods, Rustic Roots prides itself on doing it the traditional way, low and slow. Barbeque is perfect for any event—whether you’re hosting a birthday, picnic, corporate meeting, reunion, graduation, wedding, holiday celebration, shower, bachelor party, or baptism. It travels well, is easy to serve, and people simply love the hearty, authentic flavor.

Chef Holdcraft's skills with a smoker are unmatched. I have seen him in action at both private and public events throughout Chicagoland. His ability to create such depth of flavor in multiple cuts of meat all at the same time is something to behold. While at the same time all this smoking is taking place, chef Holdcraft is able to create side dishes worthy of any four start restaurant. His ability to utilize time and ingredients is skillful. He is a must for any event!

Talk about attention to detail! Everything that Rustic Roots puts together is exquisite: from presentation down to the taste! And lets face it, thats what its all about. Eyeing the dishes themselves makes your mouth water, and your tastebuds won't lie to you! Chef Holdcraft is a true artist and craftsman. He knows the quality of his meats and his combinations of rubs and spices are perfect. His attention to detail is unmatched and he will make sure everyone at the event is enjoying their time! Looking forward to the next time when Chef Holdcraft is at the grill!

Chef Michael was courteous, friendly and prepared a DELICIOUS multi-course meal for our family and friends. He took the time to explain how the meal was prepared and answered all of our cooking questions. We all had a great time. Beware of continued cravings for his candied bacon and lobster mac & cheese.
