Come September, the spotlight is on Bon Appétit presents Chicago Gourmet. The nation’s premier culinary festival celebrates all things food, drink and entertainment with a spirited 2019 theme – Lights, Camera, Napkin! – and is ready to show hungry fans exactly why “there’s no business like show business.” The highly anticipated pre-sale opens Thursday, April 11 at 10 a.m. CST at chicagogourmet.org.
Founded by the Illinois Restaurant Association and produced in partnership with title sponsor Bon Appétit and presenting sponsor Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits, Chicago Gourmet’s main event and exclusive Grand Cru, presented by UnitedHealthcare and Optum, returns to stunning Millennium Park, September 27-29. Ready to entertain with the best food, wine, spirits and top talent from around the country, Chicago Gourmet 2019 will not disappoint. Attendees can also expect a weekend of show-stopping ancillary events that champion this year’s creative direction.
“We are so excited to celebrate Chicago Gourmet’s 12th year with this new theme,” said Sam Toia, President and CEO of the Illinois Restaurant Association. “Chicago has always been a destination for world-class dining and entertainment – including theatre, comedy, film, television and much more. We look forward to bringing the city’s entertainment scene and culinary world to life through an award-winning lineup of programming and events.”
