CHILL at the Merchandise Mart: An Evening of Food, Wine & Charity

As we know, charity begins in the kitchen. On today's Kitchen Chat, we are featuring Chef Didier Durand, Executive Chef of Marchesa and Chef James De Marte, Chef/owner of Pisolino along with his business partner, Rachel De Marte. These two chefs joined Chef Jaime Laurita and me in the Middleby Residential Showroom for cooking demos. Their restaurants are participating in CHILL on November 14, 2019, an annual event at the Merchandise Mart to benefit three Chicago charities: Saturday Place, The Lynn Sage Foundation and Respiratory Health Association Over 70 restaurants are featured this year and each showroom will have delicious food and wine. As Blair Loftspring, Managing Director of Leasing and Marketing at the Merchandise Mart says, "It's a great reminder that the showrooms are open to the public Monday through Saturday."
