Chicago Foodies Go Black with New "Unique Dinner Series"
Chicago Foodies, one of the city's oldest food blogs, is launching a new Unique Dinner Series on Jan. 28 with an evening in Moto's private dining room, "The Lab."
"The Unique Dinner series was create to give chefs creative license to take risks that they would not otherwise take at their restaurants," said Chicago Foodies founder and editor-in-chief Josh Brusin in a press release. "We want to push the envelope of the Chicago Food scene. These events will appeal to Chicago food enthusiasts with adventurous palates and a wide appreciation for experimental cuisine."
For the inaugural event, Moto Chef-owner Homaro Cantu, Executive Pastry Chef Ben Roche and "Top Chef Texas" contestants Chris Jones and Ritchie Farina will create "16 Courses of Black," an extended exploration of how color affects our experience and enjoyment of food. Diners will experience an all-black progression of flavors, textures and ingredients, each with a wine pairing (perhaps a Cahors or Nero d'Avola?).
The event at Moto, 945 W. Fulton Market, is limited to 24 diners; tickets cost $225 per person. For reservations, email rsvp@chicagofoodies.com.
