Chef Allen’s 2 GO is a casual concept of local, tropical and delicious flavors in an enormously comfortable environment. It is a haven, out of the hurry of the moment, yet making it handy to Grab and Go.
Chef Allen’s 2 GO differentiates itself with a touch of service that goes beyond the typical sandwich kiosk. We take a “hands on” approach to making everybody happy. The made sandwiches, salads, platters and other foods are interesting but not intimidating. The flavors reflect our diverse cultures from right here in South Florida including the Caribbean and Latin influences.

Chef Allen’s Passover Seder March 29th and 30th Beginning at 6pm
Our Passover Seder plate will feature not one but three different types of Harosets- a sweet fruit, nut and wine mixture, reflecting the diversity of Judaism throughout the world include Venetian, Caribbean, and Yemenite Jewish family influences.
Jewish food tells a story of its people each day of the week, but more so on holidays. Foods considered leavened are forbidden, during the Passover celebration. The essence of Passover is the celebration of freedom.
We are serving Seder dinners at Chef Allen's, for the first 2 nights of Passover on April 8th and 9th. The menu tells the story. The remained of the Passover week we will serve foods appropriate for Passover. Proceeds from the Seders are donated in honor of Chef Allen's grandmother to the Rose Rosenkranz Philanthropic League to benefit those less fortunate families, to bring them Passover foods.
