Ever to Host Three-Night Chef de Cuisine Dinner Series in July

Just weeks after the Michelin Guide awarded third stars to Sonoma County’s Enclos and San Francisco’s Californios, the chefs leading these kitchens are heading to Chicago. Throughout July, Ever will host an exclusive three-night Chef de Cuisine Dinner Series, bringing together six chefs for one-night-only collaborative tasting menus. For diners, it’s an opportunity to experience the talent behind some of the country’s top kitchens, as well as two of the newest three-Michelin-starred restaurants, all without leaving Chicago.

The experience is $425 per menu with curated wine and spirit-free pairings offered with each. Guests who reserve all three dinners in the CDC Dinner Series will receive a 10% discount on the complete series. Presented in collaboration with OpenTable, San Pellegrino, Acqua Panna, and Hyatt House. Please note that seating for this event will be at shared tables.
