Meals on Wheels Chicago's 23rd Annual Celebrity Chef Ball is fast approaching. The full lineup for the Oct. 14 event at Macy's on State was released this afternoon and after reading it we have to wonder who's going to be running the city's restaurants that night. It's a very loaded lineup

Stephanie Izard, The Bristol's Chris Pandel and Paul Virant of Vie and Perennial Virant are the host chefs, with Blackbird's Lynn Houe and The Drawing Room's Charles Joly joining them as host mixologists.

The evening will be split into two separate events. The earlier, pricier event, a chef's table, is the more intimate of the two for folks interested in a sit-down dining option. That costs $325.

The later event is a reception style chef's tasting party with premium cocktails, wine and beer, silent auction, casino gaming, an interactive photo station, a live band, tastings from each of the chefs involved and Girl and the Goat chef David Ochs serving as DJ for the evening. That's $125.

Tickets for either event, or both, are available here.
