Demera, an Ethiopian restaurant in Uptown, is entering the third year of raising money to aid the humanitarian crisis in Tigray, Ethiopia. Since 2007, chef Tigist Reda has been creating beautiful spreads of Ethiopian food at Demera; bringing people together over heaping platters of meat and veggie stews, served atop freshly made injera bread. Reda was born and raised in Ethiopia, and her restaurant feels like an extension of that, bringing a bit of her hometown to Chicago. I've got to help," Stegner said. Reda is using her voice and her kitchen and her friends to help in the best way they know how.
