Loews Chicago O’Hare, Executive Chef Chuck Gillis

Ioanna and I love to leave a meal feeling satisfied. What we often forget to take into account though are the elements of dining at a restaurant that extend beyond the meal itself- the environment, the energy, and even the education you receive on the food you're eating. If you want to feel elevated after a night out, look no further than Loews Chicago O’Hare’s Sip & Savor Dinner Series at The Ashburn, An American Gastropub. Hotel Executive Chef Chuck Gillis takes everything he’s learned in his 30+ years of experience and puts it into a specially curated dining experience that is only available to the public once in a lifetime. That’s right- once it's gone, it's gone! In their Sip & Savor Dinner Series, Chef Chuck partners with a beverage partner to create an intimate meal that is inspired by Chicagoland’s rich food & drink culture. We sat down in the kitchen with Chef Chuck to discuss what a Sip & Savor Dinner night looks like and why he takes such care to create a crafted dining experience for his guests that’s available one night only! Hear about his culinary influences and how he finds inspiration to bring The Ashburn menu to life season by season, including the May 2024 “Farm-to-Table” dining experience we are attending, with beverage partner Daou Vineyards. Chef Chuck also talks about their upcoming Sip & Savor dinners, which this year take place in May, July, August, and November! It’s the perfect outing if you want to try something new & exciting, experience food in a new way, or spice up your date night with a more intimate and engaging culinary show. Everyone wants to feel elevated- and we think sipping your drink & savoring your meal at Loews Chicago O’Hare is the way to do so!
