Take a Half-Day, Meet Your Favorite Chefs

Starting this Wednesday, if you take a half-day at the office, you can get a late-lunch tour with three local chefs. Between 2:30 and 5:30pm, Flight Chicago will take you to three restaurants where you'll meet the chef, get to scope out the kitchen and all that happens behind the scenes, and end with a bite and some booze, and of course a Q&A with the chef. The tab for your VIP tour? $125. Not bad when you consider where they're taking you: There's the West Town Flight, which features Branch 27, Green Zebra, and Mexique on Wednesdays; the Bucktown Flight, which takes you to the Bristol, Spring, and Feast on Thursdays; and the West Loop Flight, where you check out Sepia, Province, and Carnivale on Tuesdays.

Book online with Flight Chicago, flights are available through November and December.
