Book Launch Party! Chicago Chef’s Table at Province
April 5th, 2012 | Published in Focus | 3 Comments
The time has come!
Come celebrate with me at the book launch party for my first book, Chicago Chef’s Table (Globe Pequot), a collection of more than 50 recipes and stories from the city’s best restaurants. Province chef/owner Randy Zweiban, who is featured in the book, has graciously opened up the restaurant’s private dining room for a very generous event, which will include a cocktail reception featuring passed hors d’oeuvres, followed by a five-course dinner with wine pairings at an unbeatable price!
Earlier that day, Chef Zweiban will demo the tortilla soup recipe from Chicago Chef’s Table on Channel 7 WLS-TV (ABC) at 11 a.m. Don’t miss it!
If you know anyone else who would like to come, invite them too! It will be a great night.
