DoorDash Deliveries in the Western 'Burbs
Fri.-Sun. DEEP DEALS 4/20-4/22/18
We keep selling out of the halibut -- call ahead if you just can't live without it! We'll put some aside. We're getting deliveries several times a week. 
FRESH WILD ALASKAN HALIBUT
Was $34.95/lb. 
SALE $30.95/lb.*
We are selling fillets - other stores are offering steaks at a cheaper price, but you're getting twice as much skin and a bunch of bones. 
     It's warm enough in Alaska for the halibut boats to be out -- a sure sign of spring, even if our spring is coming and going. Great for grilling or baking, check out some of our favorite preparation ideas Here: Halibut Recipes.  We love it baked with some of Jaime's great Artichoke Pesto, or with some Cilantro Pesto (on sale) added before serving. A yummy start to the wild caught seafood season! 
FRESH HAWAIIAN WAHOO
(ONO) FILLETS
Reg. $22.95/lb. 
SALE $20.95/lb.*
Wahoo's fast swimming speed and high-quality flesh make it a prize game  fish . In Hawaii, the wahoo is known as  ono . Firm and meaty, ono is great for grilling - we love it rubbed with olive oil and a spice rub (something Caribbean is perfect) and topped with our Tropical Salsa - yummy. This is supposed to be a nice weekend (at last!) so we hope you'll try some ono on the grill!
     
Our Tropical Salsa is back this weekend - great on both wahoo and halibut. Just bake or grill your fish, and top with some Tropical before serving. Especially good if you use a little blackening spice as well. 

* Not good with other offers or discounts, While supplies last. To assure availability, we recommend that you call ahead - 630-887-4700.

WHY FISH IS BRAIN FOOD
This is one of the best descriptions I've read about how what you eat affects your brain. 
Here are some excerpts from an interview with nutritionist Dr. Lisa Musconi, an Assistant Professor of Neuroscience in Neurology and the Associate Director of the Alzheimer's Prevention Clinic, Weill Cornell Medical College. Her research interests include PET and MRI imaging in the early diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease.
     Lisa holds a Ph.D. degree in Neuroscience and Nuclear Medicine from the University of Florence, Italy, in association with New York University School of Medicine. She also has a degree in Nutrition Sciences from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition.
     She is the founder and director of the  Nutrition and Brain Fitness Lab at NYU Medical. The goal of the lab is to understand all of the food choices we make and see what kind of consequences those choices have in the brains of people who don't have Alzheimer's, but could be at risk for it.
And do you have a specific focus within that lab?
"I like food, so I think my major interest is really about food as information. Because food is not just the source of nourishment and entertainment, but food is really chemistry. (What) you put in your body becomes part of your body and also changes the chemistry of your entire system especially the brain.
     "The neurotransmitters that we use to form memories are called acetocholine. And as the word suggests its made of an acetine group, which is a sugar in the B-vitamin choline. Choline is essential. We cannot produce it ourselves in the body so it has to come from the food we eat. Although, for this particular nutrient, the liver can make little bit, make 10% of all the choline we need, but 90% comes from food."
And what types of foods have choline?
"Eggs are a really big source of choline. Fish. Chicken has a little bit. Broccoli has a little bit. But the foods that are really, really rich in the nutrients are eggs and fish.
     "The brain is a picky eater. There are many nutrients that can't even get inside the brain. A good example is fat. What happens when we eat fat, especially saturated fat like triglycerides, the meat, the cheese, is that the fat in the foods is broken down, and triglycerides are broken down into saturated fats, glycerol and whatever smaller components they're made of.
     "And then this fat is taken up, some is used because the body needs a little padding here and there and everything else is stored for energy. So it goes in your adipose tissue. Your white body fat. And you just stick it there for the future. But the brain doesn't take any of that [fat]. None. It can't get inside the brain, the brain doesn't need it, the brain doesn't want it, because the brain doesn't have the capacity to burn that fat to produce energy.
     "The only thing that the brain can burn for energy is glucose. That's it pretty much. The best way for the brain to work is to burn the sugar glucose to produce energy. In case of total starvation there's a backup mechanism that supplies a different form of fuel to the brain, but that's really in case of starvation, so the brain needs glucose to function. It doesn't need fat, it can't burn fat. So fat just can't get inside the brain.
     "The only kind of fat that can get inside the brain is called polyunsaturated fat and that's the omega-3s and omega-6 and omega-9s. These are the fats that the brain really craves. So as soon as you eat them the brain take its share, and then the body gets the rest. It's a preferential mechanism, which sends them up to the brain. The brain doesn't burn these fats but merely uses them to incorporate the fats into whatever fat is already present in the brain. So literally patching up the brain with new pieces every time you eat fish or nuts, seeds, some vegetables.
     "It has to be done in a consistent way though. Most people don't eat any fish, or they don't eat healthy fish. So I think really good goal would be fish once a day if you've never had any fish before. Twice a day, if you're used to having it.
     "There's a lot of research shown that people who eat a portion of fish twice a week, have a 40 to 70% lowered risk of Alzheimer's as they get older, as compared to people who eat no fish."

So there you have it! The good doctor would like you to eat fish every day. We love this woman.

Another father and son duo, Burhop's Chef Jaime and his son Jonny, cooked up kebabs, lobster tails, sweet corn and more for a happy crowd of many ages. According to the hostess: 
" An AMAZING feast thanks to you, John and Jamie.  The food was amazing and the chefs could not have been nicer.  Everyone was raving and we certainly let them know who to call! 
Thank you again, you have very satisfied customers."
