In this photo from last year's Chicago Gourmet opening ceremony, Carrie Nahabedian of Naha addresses the crowd on behalf of Green City Market.
Nahabedian's resume lists a litany of firsts. She was the first female chef to be hired at Le Francais and helped develop the menu for Seasons restaurant as Executive Sous Chef at the Four Seasons. Tonight, Nahabedian joins Trotter, Rick Bayless and Heaven on Seven's Jimmy Bannos in the Chicago Culinary Museum's Chefs Hall of Fame with a dinner and ceremony beginning at 5:30 p.m. at the Union League Club of Chicago. Proceeds for the $175-per-plate dinner will benefit the not-yet-corporeal Culinary Museum. His Elective Majesty has also designated today as "Carrie Nahabedian Day."
