Most recipes have a story. Ours has a family tree.

Dimitrije, one of Cava’s lead chefs, brings a kafta recipe that’s been passed down through generations.

And that little kick you didn’t expect? A pickled jalapeño. A quiet nod to John’s father.

This is what we mean when we say it’s more than a meal.
