This past Friday was 𝐀𝐥𝐥 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐄𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐲: 𝐒𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐞. @Eatalychicago hosted their first all access party of 2026. For one night only, Eataly brought the flavors and energy of Rome to Chicago with an immersive, marketplace-wide celebration.

We enjoyed unlimited tastings from 30+ Italian bites, 20+ Italian wines, spirits, and beers, live entertainment, chef demos, and more! Looking forward to the next one! 🥂

Event Alert! 🚨 @Macys on State Street welcomes Mac

Event Alert! 🚨 @Expochicago is BACK at Navy Pier!

Event Alert! 🚨 @Expochicago is BACK at Navy Pier! (April 9th - 12th) I always love going Opening Night. EXPO CHICAGO Contemporary Art Fair showcases leading contemporary and modern art galleries alongside a diverse and inventive program of
talks, on-site installations, and public art initiatives.

Great performance by @dcomposedchicago! 🎻

Last night I attended Dialogues, which is an onsite discussion offering a deeper look at some of the themes, artists, and partnerships at the fair. I attended the panel 𝐀𝐑𝐓 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐎𝐛𝐚𝐦𝐚 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫: 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜 𝐌𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐠𝐨’𝐬 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐒𝐢𝐝𝐞 (Moderated by: Virginia Shore (Curator of commissions, Obama Presidential Center)).

The conversation brought together a selection of contributing artists from the Obama Presidential Center’s commissioned art collection to share their ideas, research, and process driving these significant public commissions. Speakers explored how they are responding to the cultural and civic bison of the Center (opening this June) and the profound significance of creating new work for this landmark institution on Chicago’s South Side. @Obamafoundation

The National Restaurant Association Show is next m

The National Restaurant Association Show is next month! (May 16th - 19th) I’ve been going since 2018 and this is one of my favorite shows to cover. The NRA show brings professionals from across the globe to discover innovations, build connections, and drive the industry forward.

@nationalrestaurantshow has 53,000+ attendees, 2,300+ exhibitors, and features 900+ categories. My favorite things to do is walk the show room floor for tasty bites and to discover new innovative technology gadgets. I also love the culinary demo’s that feature some of our favorite Celebrity Chef’s and most demo’s follow with a cookbook 📕 signing.

This years Keynote speaker is Andre Agassi. The tennis legend and philanthropist will be interviewed about leadership, perseverance, and reinvention. @Agassi Keynote will take place Sunday, May 17th at 1pm. For more information and tickets to attend head to: www.nationalrestaurantshow.com
