Chicago Gourmet To Hold Two In-Person Dining Events as Full Festival Not Ready to Return | Eater Chicago

"The rooftop of the theater will serve as the in-person hub for several Chicago Gourmet fringe events this September: the kickoff Hamburger Hop on Friday, Sept. 24 — a burger-competition that also runs citywide with DoorDash delivery (more than 100 chefs and restaurants signed up) and a fan vote on Sept. 22 — and the Grand Cru, a premium wine-and-bites affair that will run as two sessions on Saturday, Sept. 25 and broaden its focus to include craft spirits. Last year the Hop successfully shifted to delivery/carryout, and that component continues this year; ticket information is scheduled to be released in August." - Ashok Selvam
