THINGS HEAT UP AT SECOND ANNUAL CHEFS ON THE GRILL EVENT

Chefs on the Grill is a gastronomical grilling event that brings together renowned chefs of the Millennium Valley for a good cause. The alfresco experience is held at The Plaza at Park Grill with various Chicago chefs participating in the grilling competition. Attendees have the opportunity to interact with the chefs while they’re grilling and then vote on the best-grilled dish of the evening. Guests will also enjoy food, drink and special take-away prizes all under Chicago’s famous “bean.”

Chefs on the Grill proceeds will benefit the Grant Park Conservancy, a not-for-profit organization seeking to improve and develop Grant Park and promote the park as a lively civic space. Important to each and every partner in Millennium Valley, the mission of the Grant Park Conservancy is to provide a permanent body that enables Grant Park to respond and adapt to the changing needs of its users as the park passes from generation to generation.
