Joelen's Blogging Adventures: Chef Spotlight

Each month, friends come over for dinner to celebrate the culinary contributions of a specific chef. In honor of the famous “Taste of Chicago” event taking place this month, we’re dedicating our Chef Spotlight dinner to all the fabulous chefs here in Chicago. The chefs we’re highlighting include Rick Bayless, Charlie Trotter and Gale Gand – all who have made significant culinary contributions to Chicago. Attendees will be bringing dishes made from local chef recipes to enjoy potluck style. We’ll talk about the Chicago culinary scene, our city’s culinary contributions and the dishes we’ve prepared from local cookbooks. Come join us by sharing your favorite recipe from Rick Bayless, Charlie Trotter and/or Gale Gand by posting about it in your blog! Deadline for this blogging adventure is Saturday, June 21st. I'll be posting pictures of our Chef Spotlight dinner, recipes made by the attendees and the blogging adventure recipe roundup by Monday, June 23rd. Giveaway - Chicago food gift!
