Courting The Foodie Vote?

As a part of their month-long, 10th anniversary blowout, The Chopping Block is hosting an olive oil tasting event. Through April 9th to the 13th, you can visit both their Lincoln Square and Merchandise Mart locations to sample and vote on “rare, artisanal olive oils of the highest quality.” The winning oil will be crowned the, “Official Olive Oil of The Chopping Block’s 10th Anniversary Year.”
