For all y’all who have stopped working and are just killing time on the internet before heading to West Lakeview Liquors, here’s something to occupy your weekend-focused mind: It’s just been announced that Mayor Daley will be throwing "Chicago Gourmet: A Celebration of Food & Wine" in Millennium Park on September 26th, 27th and 28th. Details are being kept secret for now (they’ll be released at a press conference on May 20), but we know that the festival will be open to the public, will require paid admission and will feature tastings, demonstrations and presentations. Sounds to me like the anti-Taste of Chicago, more of an Aspenish event focusing on upscale food and our most prestigious chefs.
Anybody want to guess who’ll be making an appearance here? (Your first three guesses—Achatz, Trotter and Bayless—don’t count.)
