Partner Spotlight: La Serre 

Inspired by the coastal cuisines of France, Italy, and Spain, La Serre brings a fresh pan-Mediterranean perspective to Chicago’s dining scene. The restaurant combines vibrant flavors, high-quality ingredients, and a welcoming atmosphere that encourages guests to gather around the table and enjoy great food. 

For DineAmic Hospitality Group, Corporate Chef, Aras Dailide, the menu is a reflection of both experience and passion. While selecting a favorite dish is never easy, the Linguine & Clams holds a special place. 

Like many of the dishes served at La Serre, it showcases a thoughtful balance of simplicity and quality, allowing carefully sourced ingredients to speak for themselves. 

That commitment to quality extends beyond the menu and into the relationships that support the restaurant every day. 

The relationship between DineAmic Hospitality Group and Meats by Linz began years ago through Prime & Provisions and has continued to grow over time. Built on consistency, communication, and shared values, the partnership has become an important part of delivering the level of excellence guests expect. 

“My favorite part about working with Meats by Linz has to be the exceptional product quality, unparalleled customer service, and a relationship that feels natural. It’s important for us to maintain loyalty with our purveyors, and Meats by Linz makes that really easy.” 

In an industry where trust matters, long-term partnerships can be just as valuable as the products themselves. Having confidence in the people behind the ingredients allows restaurants to focus on creating memorable dining experiences for their guests. 

When it comes to beef, one cut stands above the rest. 

The Delmonico Ribeye is a favorite for its exceptional flavor and impressive marbling. Rich, tender, and packed with character, it exemplifies the quality that has made Meats by Linz a trusted partner for chefs and restaurants across the country. 

Looking back on years in the hospitality industry, one piece of advice continues to stand out: 

“Really establish good relationships with your vendors. A lot of people jump from vendor to vendor chasing better prices, but if you cultivate those relationships and maintain loyalty, everyone takes care of each other. It makes it easier for everyone to stay successful.” 

It’s a philosophy that aligns closely with the values that have guided Meats by Linz for generations: trust, partnership, and a commitment to helping customers succeed. 

At La Serre, those values can be found in every aspect of the operation, from the ingredients on the plate to the relationships behind them. When quality and partnership come first, success becomes something that is shared by everyone involved.
