Parsnip

From a permanent location inside Lemon Poppy Kitchen, former Highland Park pop-up Parsnip offers locals and others in search of Romanian food a lighter, California-inspired take on the southeastern European country’s often meat- and dairy-heavy cuisine. Here, you’ll find chicken paprikash, beef goulash and salmon spaetzle, as well as bulz, polenta dumplings filled with sauerkraut and Gouda cheese. Their planchinta, or stuffed flatbreads, can even be made vegan with smoked cabbage and purple potato, plus a plant-based dill aioli.
