You know Chicago Gourmet is just around the corner when the food festival’s Dine Around program starts up. Beginning on Monday, August 29, if you visit five participating restaurants and remember to save all the receipts, you’re eligible for a free one-day ticket to Chicago Gourmet. Just like last year, there are well over 50 great restaurants to chose from, including many that are offering special prix fixe menus. We’re particularly excited to see that Ryan Poli’s still unopened Tavernita is on the list. Take a peek at the menus here, and then check out the official rules and the complete list of participating restaurants below.
The Bon Appétit and Chicago Gourmet Dine Around
From August 29th through September 25th, dine in five participating restaurants, save your receipts, and redeem them for a complimentary one-day Chicago Gourmet ticket at registration. Enjoy the special prix-fixe meal, or dine from the regular menu; either receipt is valid toward the free ticket if the meal total is a minimum of $35. To receive your complimentary ticket, simply present the Dine Around receipt holder—with the five original, qualifying receipts attached—at registration the day of the event.
