I had such a good time @Chicago_Gourmet Grand Cru I had such a good time @Chicago_Gourmet Grand Cru second session last night hosted by @Chefsarahjayne and @Cshepherd13.

Grand Cru is a world class tasting tour for the true food lover, and this year the rhythm is global dance. Award-winning chefs brought a high energy pulse to every plate. The culinary dishes were paired with a masterclass in premium wines and spirits for a refined, rhythmic journey across cultures and cuisines. My FAVORITE bite of the night was @Johnsfoodandwine Murasaki Sweet Potato Brûlée. I got in line twice for that! 

Last call! Do you have your tickets for Rise & Shine Gourmet today? 𝑳𝒆𝒕 𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝑻𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒃𝒖𝒅𝒔 𝑫𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆.
