This Saturday, September 20th, music and culinary worlds collide at Highland Park's Ravinia. Food Network in Concert is a one-day-only festival bringing together local and national chefs, Food Network stars, and great musical performers. Food Network chefs including Anne Burrell, Alex Guarnaschelli, Jose Garces, Geoffrey Zakarian, and Chicago's own Jeff Mauro, will be on-hand for a variety of culinary events including themed lunches and dinners, and walk-around tastings. About 75 local chefs will also be taking part, including John Coletta, Jimmy Bannos (Sr. and Jr.), Tony Mantuano, Andrew Zimmerman, Gale Gand, Paul Virant, Mindy Segal, and the list goes on!
What can you expect to taste at Food Network at Ravinia? Even highlights include The Greatest Hits, a walk-around food and wine tasting featuring 100+ wineries and 50 chefs, the BBQ-themed Country Cookout: Farm to Turntable, Hot Hot Hot with the spiciest dishes from across the globe, and I Want Candy, a dessert-themed tasting featuring 15 pastry chefs from across the US.
The music component of the first ever event will include performances by headliner and Grammy Award-winning artist John Mayer, American Idol season 11 winner Philip Phillips, DJ Alexandra Richards, Twin Forks, and more!
