"Chef Bailey Sullivan is part of the star-studded Grand Cru cast on Saturday, September 27, contributing dishes that will be paired with fine wines and spirits." - Jeffy Mai
"A Chicago restaurant helmed by Sarah Grueneberg, celebrated for its pasta-focused cuisine, it is contributing a Lemony Orzo with Artichokes and Dill to the Centurion Lounge Culinary Collective; the offering will rotate alongside other chef-inspired items and local specialties at lounges nationwide." - Ashley Day
"A pasta-focused restaurant famed for its pastas—especially an eggplant preparation by chef Sarah Grueneberg—and surprising desserts like a lemon mascarpone ice cream accented with caviar that blends sweet, savory, and funky notes." - Sam Nelson
"Sarah Grueneberg (Sarah Grueneberg, Best Chef: Great Lakes, 2017) rose to fame when she became a Top Chef finalist in 2012 when she was still running the kitchen at Italian icon Spiaggia. After she opened her West Loop Italian restaurant Monteverde, which is continually rated as one of Chicago’s best restaurants and toughest reservations, Grueneberg won a Beard in 2017." - Naomi Waxman
"Monteverde’s best appetizer is a DIY operation. You’re given four housemade lemon-thyme tigelles, which you then slice in half to fill with the burrata and prosciutto to make a luxurious little sandwich. Does this mean you’re a chef now? (Still no.) The regular dinner service is booked out for months, but they serve lunch Tuesday through Saturday, and your chances of getting a table go up exponentially if you look for a reservation then. The bar is first come, first served, so come here alone and plan to take up an absurd amount of space for you, your pastas, and your pork shank." - veda kilaru, john ringor, nick allen, veda kilaru, veda kilaru, john ringor, nick allen, john ringor, veda kilaru, veda kilaru, john ringor, john ringor, nick allen
