UPTOWN — Got a hankering for high-end restaurant quality food but unable to leave your couch? Don't worry — GrubHub has you covered.

On Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. only, you can get a farm-to-table meal delivered right to your door thanks to Hummingbird, a delivery-only restaurant by Ben Sheagren, the former executive chef at beloved tavern Hopleaf, 5148 N. Clark St.

Hummingbird is the first delivery-only restaurant on GrubHub, according to a news release. Its menu is only being offered this weekend.

There are a variety of salads and soups on the menu — all made with locally sourced ingredients.

Hummingbird's lamb meatballs are made with ground lamb from Black Earth Farms in Wisconsin. They're paired with polenta and fava beans with sauteed cipolinni onions topped up with Goose Island Peres Jaques sauce.

Also on the menu is chicken "under brick," which is made with chicken from Gunthorp Farms in LaGrange, Ind. that is served with smashed fingerling potatoes in basil vinaigrette and a maitake mushroom-asparagus conserva.

Sheagren is a four-time Michelin Bib Gourmand recipient.
