Cooking Demo, Hamburger Hop, & More!

It's great to be back in Chicago after a 3 week trip in Italy, Vienna, and Bulgaria. Italy continues to amaze me with the food, cities, and beauty every time I go there. Vienna was full of schnitzel, brats, and beer..and some pretty nice museums(I can only take so much of that though!) This was my fourth trip to Bulgaria, and the cuisine is so similar to Greek and Jewish cuisine, there is nothing not to like!

September 15th, I will be be cooking and hosting an all day demo at the east lakeview festival of arts in Chicago at 3300 N. Broadway st. As a resident of the neighborhood, I am thrilled to participate in this event, and what makes it even more special, is my wife will be one of the artists displaying her oil on canvas work at the fest! So please come on down and check it out! http://lakevieweastfestivalofthearts.com/

Later in the month is the Chicago Gourmet food fest at Millennium Park. I will be covering the kickoff party, The Hamburger Hop, and the event is sponsored by Chicago's very own Allen Brothers. Some of the Chicago's best chefs will once again square off to see whose burger reigns supreme.

Here are a couple pics from a food fest I came across in Vienna.
