the entrance to chicago gourmet!
this is my third consecutive year attending chicago gourmet
the first year i didn't pace myself at all, i got so wasted i came out to my mother...yeesh
the stella artois booth! they give out full size stella, hoegarten, & leffe pint glasses
Ardbeg, the Ultimate Single Islay Malt Scotch Whisky. really peat-y.
South african liqueur, Amarula Cream is made from the exotic Marula fruit. it was actually disgusting tasting. but apparently elephants eat the fermented fruits and get drunk. i <3 elephants especially drunk ones
the absolut tent. this bartender was like 6'6".
Elijah Craig Bourbon
jimmy bannos, jr. head chef of the 'purple pig' in chicago. one of my favorite restaurants.
chef dirk flanigan. head chef of The Gage & Henri. the gage is like the ultimate gastro-pub and Henri is a super fancy french restaurant. two more of my favorite restaurants.
on the left is chef tony priolo. head chef of 'Piccolo Sogno'. awesome italian food!
michelle woods & i near the end of the festival. wowwy-zowwy.
however, i missed ted allen, andrew knowlton, and a few of celebrities. i need to get better about not just shoveling food & wine down my gullet.
SO MUCH FUN. can't wait for next year!
