As the sun sets on Friday, April 15, Jews all over the world will be asking, “Why is this night different from all other nights?” The answer, of course, is because it is Passover. And it’s not really that different from all other nights because Passover will go on for seven more. Nonetheless. Passover is coming. It requires a lot of cleaning and a lot of cooking for Jews who want to do the whole thing properly, which means banishing all forms of leavened bread from their homes. For those who don’t, there is takeout. Here are 18 restaurants in Chicago where you can find it. The majority are only serving Passover food the first two nights, but there are a few that offer it all week long. Please note that only one of them is strictly kosher, and none are offering a full seder, only food. (For the full seder experience, there are several options in the suburbs.)
