This one isn't for consumption by "the public".</p> http://chicagoist.com/2008/05/21/the_gourmet_tas.php#comment-1367757 http://chicagoist.com/2008/05/21/the_gourmet_tas.php#comment-1367757 Comments Wed, 21 May 2008 11:58:21 -0600 <p>My question is for the $150 ticket, how much food do you actually get to taste/sample? It also sounds like some of the more interesting parts of the event will happen in seminars, which they plan to charge an additional fee to attend. The press release seems to suggest plenty of wine tastings will be conducted, but it is pretty vague on how the food portion of the event will work. I think I would rather just put the $150 towards a night out at Alinea or Trotter's. </p>
