Dine Around Town, Earn A Free Chicago Gourmet Ticket

Back for its third year, The third edition of Chicago Gourmet is fast approaching. While we do think the $150 one-day ticket is well worth the investment, festival organizers are offering you a way to get yours for free to the September 25-26 event at Millennium Park

Now through September 26, dine out five times at one, or several, of the participating Dine Around restaurants. Save your receipts, place them in the Dine Around receipt holder (available at the restaurant) and walk on up to the registration table the day of the event to get your ticket. Simple. To help ensure you aren't going broke doing so, most participating restaurants are offering special three-course menus for either $33 or $55. See here for a list of restaurants.

While you are out, don’t forget to snap a photo that shows you, the Dine Around receipt holder and an identifying feature of the restaurant. Upload that photo to the Chicago Gourmet Facebook page and you could win two tickets to the Hamburger Hop on Friday, September 24th and cookbooks from Chef Art Smith and Iron Chef Cat Cora.
