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 Brรปlรฉe. I got in line twice for that! 

Last call! Do you have your tickets for Rise & Shine Gourmet today? ๐‘ณ๐’†๐’• ๐’€๐’๐’–๐’“ ๐‘ป๐’‚๐’”๐’•๐’†๐’ƒ๐’–๐’…๐’” ๐‘ซ๐’‚๐’๐’„๐’†.

I absolutely LOVE our artistic community! I was in I absolutely LOVE our artistic community! I was invited to an exclusive meet the artist event at Michelin Star @Esme_Chicago with acclaimed, Chicago born contemporary artist, @Hebrubrantley. The event was presented alongside @artehausstudios and @Framechicago.

The meet and greet was in celebration of Esmรฉโ€™s newest menu transition and multi-sensory dining collaboration with Brantley. (Once and Future exhibition) Favorite dishes from throughout Esmรฉโ€™s history have been reimagined through the singularity of Brantleyโ€™s narrative driven work and are utilized as a canvas to further spotlight his multifaceted ideas and powerful cultural commentaries. 

The restaurant is transformed into an immersive, pop-up gallery space, showcasing a selection of Brantleyโ€™s paintings and sculptures peppered throughout the dining room. What a fun way to mix art with food! Thanks to Chef @jennertomaska and team for the yummy cocktails and bites. ๐Ÿ˜‹ Make your reservations on Opentable!
