The Chicago Food & Wine Festival is going on this weekend, Sunday from 11:30 – 5 at Kendall College. The tickets are a bit steep ($60 a pop, advance purchase highly recommended), but considering there is a good chance you will get tastings and wine from some of the finest restaurants in the city included with that (Spring, Naha, Tru, etc) it is actually a good deal. You get a champagne reception, chefs tastings, dessert tastings, and live demonstrations by rock star chefs.

I can’t go (sniff), but if you get a chance to head out there, let me know how it is. And eat extra portions. But you were planning on doing that anyway, weren’t you?
