Chicago Gourmet, billed as "a celebration of food and wine," is expected to feature several of the city's nationally known chefs when it runs from Sept. 26-28 in Millennium Park.

....

The city is mum on the details, pending a news conference May 20. But celebrity chefs—including Rick Bayless (Frontera Grill and Topolobampo,) Paul Kahan (Blackbird), Graham Elliot (former executive chef of Avenues) and pastry wizard Gale Gand, as well as apparently a number of other big-name chefs and sommeliers, are on board. In addition to food and wine tastings, plans are in the works for cooking demonstrations, classes and special dining events, according to the restaurant association's Web site.

"There is no sincerer love than the love of food."  -George Bernard Shaw, Man and Superman, Act 1

 

"Imagine all the food you have eaten in your life and consider that you are simply some of that food, rearranged."  -Max Tegmark, physicist

 

Gene Weingarten, writing in the Washington Post about online news stories and the accompanying readers' comments: "I basically like 'comments,' though they can seem a little jarring: spit-flecked rants that are appended to a product that at least tries for a measure of objectivity and dignity. It's as though when you order a sirloin steak, it comes with a side of maggots."

 

A king can stand people's fighting, but he can't last long if people start thinking. -Will Rogers, humorist

Didn't we used to have an event at the MCA in where we have local chefs come in and showcase there goods. And then there was the Green City Market barbecue event. Lots of big names there.

Hope this one works out for the long haul and is affordable.

I think it sounds great. I hope they price it high enough to prevent it from being a zoo. Make it like Taste of Chicago, but that strip of 11 tickets will cost $60 instead of $6. :biggrin:

I'm sorry, but shouldn't that be Graham Elliot Bowles?

Yes. The chef's name is Graham Elliot Bowles, and the name of his new restaurant is Graham Elliot.

Clicking on the Tribune link, his name is correct in the story now on their website. I'm guessing it was originally in error at the time Alex copied it, and they discovered their error and corrected it shortly thereafter.
