Chicago Chef Battle 2011 September 25, 2011

Off-Air Series again kicks off with the ever popular Chicago Chef Battle 2011 where five local chefs will be challenged to create a dish using one of Goose Island’s beers as an ingredient. The audience will have the chance to taste each dish and be the judge, with prizes for the winning chef. Last year Chef David Carrier took home the winning prize and this year the participants include Jill Barron (Mana Food Bar and the 2009 Chicago Chef Battle winner), Chris Curren (Blue 13 and Elate), Carlos Ysaguirre (Anteprima/Acre), Leonard Hollander (Marion Street Cheese Market in Oak Park), and Heather Terhune (Sable). The battle takes place at the Goose Island Brewery Loading Dock, 1800 W. Fulton Street, on Sunday, September 25 from 4-7pm. Tickets go on sale September 1 and are $15/general admission, $12/WBEZ members, and $10/students and are available at www.wbez.org/off-air.
