Event Alert! Chicago Tribune Food Bowl Festival – Aug. 8th – Aug 26th 2018

May 14, 2018 by Chi@glance

Chicago has a plethora of restaurant cuisines to choose from. Whether you’re looking for Italian, French, Southern, Asian, Chinese, and the list can go on…..we have it. About a month ago the Chicago Tribune announced a new festival we can add to our list this summer: Chicago Tribune FOOD BOWL Festival. Instead of a one day fest, how about 3 weeks?

Chicago Tribune Announces a New Kind of Food Festival…
Chicago-Style

It’s authentic. It’s innovative. It’s different.
It’s the best of the best from America’s Restaurant City of the Year. It’s FOOD BOWL.
And it’s putting Chicago’s renowned food and dining scene in the spotlight.

FOOD BOWL: Wednesday, August 8 – Sunday, August 26

Night Market: Friday, August 24 – Sunday, August 26
The Night Market finale event will be held at The Lakefront Green at Theatre on the Lake.

Food Bowl celebrates the chefs, restaurants, mixologists, innovators, entrepreneurs, critics, and connoisseurs who put Chicago at the forefront of the nation’s food and drink scene. The festival will showcase the distinct tastes and flavors of Chicago’s diverse neighborhoods.

In sponsorship with Beam Suntory, FOOD BOWL will feature collaborations with national and international culinary talent including chefs, mixologists, restaurants, and venues across Chicago. Events will take place across Chicago, allowing guests to explore the city through hundreds of extraordinary events.

GET YOUR SEAT AT THE TABLE

Tickets go on sale on July 1 at CTFoodBowl.com.

Prices will range from free community events to exclusive ticketed experiences.

Throughout the three-week festival, FOOD BOWL will collaborate with chefs and restaurants around Chicago to offer 100+ events, in just as many locations. Expertly curated events include, but are not limited to, specialty classes, test kitchens, panels and talks, pop-up bars, and neighborhood tours.

The festival will conclude with a three-day Night Market held at The Lakefront Green at Theatre on the Lake. The street food market will feature 30+ of Chicago’s essential restaurants. During these three days, over 30,000 guests will discover new restaurants, dine on unique dishes, connect with Chicago’s most talented chefs, and experience Chicago like they never have before.

About FOOD BOWL

After its huge success, FOOD BOWL is back in L.A. this May with over 200 events, as well as local and international chef collaborations. A few highly anticipated international guests for the 2018 L.A. Food Bowl include Jos é Andres, Rosio Sanchez , Yoshihiro Narisawa, Virgilio Martínez, Ben Shewry, Gabriela, Nadine Redzepi, and Monique Fiso.

I slept in a treehouse last night and what an adve I slept in a treehouse last night and what an adventure! @Kalahariresortswisconsindells unveiled a collection of luxury Treehouses created in partnership with Pete Nelson of @NelsonTreehouse, widely known as the host of Animal Planet’s 𝑻𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝑴𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒔. 

I attended an intimate media preview. Pete Nelson and Todd Nelson, founder of @Kalahariresorts, shared the inspiration, craftsmanship, and vision behind the Treehouses on our guided tour. The treehouses provide an elevated escape. They’re a nature-forward expansion celebrating the beauty of the Dells and the magic of living among the trees. Also onsite is a relaxing pool and hot tub.

The evening concluded with a beautiful experience on the shores of Lake Delton. We had an amazing dinner at the brand New restaurant @Daylenessupperclub. Such cozy vibes, delicious food, and tasty cocktails. 𝙄𝙩’𝙨 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙣 𝙔𝙊𝙐𝙍 𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙮!
