More Flavor: City Gem Chef Showcase

  • Gale_gand2_e_event_full

These days, Chicago is a must-stop destination for foodies on the quest for good eats. But this wasn't always the case — the city had to earn its stripes. Long before Top Chef called the Windy City home, culinary whiz kids were quietly cooking up new-and-improved methods of food preparation, exploring unconventional ingredients, and keeping the classics classic all the while. Local chefs of international caliber — including Gale Gand of Tru, Michael Kornick of MK, Bruce Sherman of North Pond, and Carol Wallack of Sola — dish out slices of Chicago's culinary history and discuss what the future holds for the city's savory scene.
