Sloopin Covid-19 Spotlihgt: Acadia

We're trying to spotlight restaurants in the neighborhood who are running specials during this tough time.  If you're a restaurant (or business) hit us up at sloopin@gmail.com and we will try to post asap.

Here is what's going on at Acadia:
Hey Sloopin!

I'm Jason Sundberg, General Manager at Acadia. I wanted to inform you and all your readers that custom cakes by Pastry Chef Kyleen Gray are now being offered at the restaurant (perfect for birthdays, Mother's Day) Those interested can email rmccaskey@acadiachicago.com with specifications (including cake/icing flavor, size, decorative requests) to receive a quote. Cakes start at $65 and require 2-3 days advance notice, depending on complexity. I've attached some serious drool-inducing photos.
