Get Your Foodie Fix at Chicago Gourmet

Stars like Top Chef Master Rick Bayless, Top Chef contestants Radhika Desa and Fabio Viviani, and season four winner Stephanie Izard will convene in the Windy City for the Chicago Gourmet, an upscale version of the city's famous Taste of Chicago food fest, set for September 26 from 11 am to 6 pm and September 27 from 11 am to 5 pm in Millennium Park.

Luckily, it's not only TV chefs who are invited to the second annual event. Chicago Gourmet organizers want serious foodies to bring their exacting palates to high-end food and wine tastings, cooking demonstrations, educational seminars and celeb chef appearances. And though the roster of attendees reads like a Top Chef reunion, a number of notable chefs, sommeliers and food experts will be there as well. Ted Allen, host of Food Detectives and Chopped; Graham Elliot Bowles, a Top Chef Masters contestant and owner of graham elliot; Paul Kahan, of Blackbird and The Publican; Bill Kim, of Urban Belly; Martial Noguier, of Café des Architectes; and Alpana Singh, master sommelier and host of locally loved TV show Check, Please! are among more than 50 event participants.
