Bump.
I can't attend, but would love to read about it here. I think Burt is going to be there with his pan pizza.

Really? I'll have to put that night on my calendar to not go to Burts.

Hi- a friend of mine was supposed to go but she cancelled. I have a spare ticket. If anyone is interested, email me directly and we can figure out the logistics. This should be a great event! Thanks.

As reported in the Tribune today, Ferran Adria has dubbed Chicago "the center of gastronomy."* So it's official; this city rules.

*Unclear whether the brains behind El Bulli meant the center for the US, the world, our galaxy...

Correct. Burt, Sharon, and I will all be there. There has been a sign in the window informing people that the store will be closed on Wednesday the 10th.

Hi,

I wish I could attend, but I have a pressing meeting to attend. I hope you report back on the experience.
