This fall, MasterCard® Priceless® Chicago is partnering with Thrillist to bring the exclusive “Rock
Your Palate” musical and culinary event series to MasterCard Priceless Chicago. The series
will consist of three separate “pop-up exhibitions”, celebrating Chicago’s musical heritage in
September, November and December. Each of the themed exhibitions will be designed to
showcase the local influencers who define and embody Chicago’s cultural nuance, beginning
September 13th and 14th at Floating World Gallery.
Each of the 3 series will include both a daytime and nighttime segment. The inaugural event
at Lincoln Park's Floating World Gallery, will be open from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. to the public, and
will feature a complimentary exhibition for all ages curated by music photographer Michael
Weintrob. The standing photo gallery will double as a live-action photo shoot by Weintrob from
12 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. each day, where he will hand-select star Chicago musicians to participate
in the series. Weintrob will additionally give an informal talk about his unique process and take
a Q&A from fans from 2:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. each day.
From 7 p.m. to 10 p.m., the space will play host to exclusive dinners from the best chefs in
Chicago, inspired by the "Instrument Head" photo series and Chicago's most iconic musical
styles. The first series of dinners will be led by culinarian and former Top Chef contestant Sarah
Grueneberg (Executive Chef, Spiagga, Chicago’s only four-star Italian restaurant) who will
collaborate on the 13th with 2011 Rising Star Chef Dirk Flanigan (Chef, Henri and The Gage), and
on the 14th with 2008 Food and Wine Best New Chef Tentori (Executive Chef, Boka and GT Fish
& Oyster).
Tickets to the evening events will be available to MasterCard holders ages 21-and-up through
the MasterCard Priceless Chicago site for $90. (www.priceless.com/chicago)
