Top Chef vs. Rising Chef

stephizard.jpgChef Stephanie Izard, fresh from taping the season finale of "Top Chef" in Puerto Rico, will be joining Chef Nick Lacasse in the kitchen at The Drawing Room at Le Passage, 937 N.

This one-time event will be Sunday, June 15 from 6pm to 9pm, and costs $65 per person -- reservations are, obviously required. Call 773-276-7582 to reserve your seats!
