Ment'or Chicago

Join Chef Grant Achatz, a culinary leader in the Chicago dining scene, at his long-awaited new restaurant, Roister.  Roister was built to be an informal spot where the kitchen and dining room are one in the same.  Chef Andrew Brochu helms the kitchen and Roister’s menu offers both a la carte dishes and a tasting menu option.

“The Prep Kitchen” is a unique space in the basement where there is a second kitchen and restaurant space.  The space is refined with every single seat being right in the middle of the kitchen.   Chef Achatz and his longtime business partner, Nick Kokonas continue to focus on making food fun and delicious making this a wonderful and memorable experience.   

This once-in-a-lifetime event showcases Team USA as they share their first-hand stories and the Roister team creates beautiful dishes inspired by the Bocuse d’Or.  This is a great opportunity to meet Team USA 2017 Chef Mathew Peters and his Commis Harrison Turone along with Chef Philip Tessier, the first American to ever place on the podium at the prestigious Bocuse d’Or in Lyon.

A cocktail reception at The Aviary will begin at 5pm, followed by the dinner at Roister.

The Chef’s Garden Party

Final dish prepared by Chef Mathew Peters

Final dish prepared by Chef Mathew Peters

The Jones Family took conventional farming in a new direction and created a world of microgreens, microgreen herbs, heirloom vegetables, specialty lettuces and edible flowers. While farming at The Chef’s Garden has evolved “back in time,” using methods employed by their great grandfathers, innovation and new product development help them remain the leading grower of artisanal produce in the nation. Today, they deliver the finest culinary ingredients to leading chefs and restaurants around the world.

This is a unique opportunity to explore the farm and enjoy a magical dinner that celebrates Bocuse d’Or USA past and present. Former Team USA candidates, along with the Team USA 2017, will be onsite to prepare courses inspired by their journey to the Bocuse d’Or. Joining Chefs Timothy Hollingsworth, Robert Sulatycky, Richard Rosendale, Philip Tessier, Mathew Peters, Emma Bengtsson will be The Chef’s Garden very own, Jamie Simpson.
