Step Up Women’s Network will once again gather local chefs and notables, including Windy City Live’s Val Warner, for Shine & Dine. The Thursday, August 9 (6 - 9 p.m.) evening at Galleria Marchetti will feature seasonal fare from Chicago's hottest restaurants while welcoming 400 local professionals, all to benefit the charitable programs of Step Up Women’s Network.
