Let's get rollin' . . .
• The
Chicago Auto Show's
First Look For Charity happens Feb. 8, and for the second year in a row
Rick Gresh (
David Burke's Primehouse) is one of the headlining chefs for the black-tie event. Also serving up bites will be
Jeff Shapiro (
Real Urban Barbecue) and
Chef Chao (
Union Sushi). Get ready for spicy BBQ duck breast, braised boneless short ribs, Garrett popcorn and "red neck" tacos.
• Former
BIN 36 chef
John Caputo has settled into his new role as executive chef at
City Tavern, and he's finally released a new menu. Of note are the split pea and smoked ham hock chowder; wild boar and short rib meatloaf that comes with macaroni and cheese gratin; and beer-battered skate "fingers" served with a tabasco-lime aioli and onion rings.
