The annual Chicago Gourmet event returns to Millennium Park this September, and pre-sale tickets are already available.
Chicago Gourmet, billed as “a concert of culinary delights,” is presented by Bon Appetit. It runs Sept. 28-30.
A one-day pass goes for $156 before fees and a weekend pass runs $288. “Grand Cru” packages, which include high-end wine tastings, are available at $205 per day and weekend travel packages go for $1,360-$1,999. Tickets are available here; regularly priced tickets will be available once pre-sale sells out.
The most recent “Top Chef” winner, Joe Flamm, executive chef of Spiaggia, is confirmed to be giving a demonstration Sept. 29 on the main stage.
