More than twenty of Chicago's finest culinary superstars will be hosting this year's Operation North Pole event at Café la Cave in Des Plaines. From 6:30-9pm, you can enjoy live cooking demonstrations by Cooking Skills Academy along with wine and beer tastings.
Operation North Pole partners with Chicago’s major children’s hospitals to give sick children the chance to make a dream come true with a magical, fantasy trip to the North Pole. The event provides a fun day for both the children and their families, who are dealing with the emotional and financial turmoil of having a child with a life threatening illness.
Operation TASTE helps make that dream a reality with delicious food and unique events.
Among others, chefs Carlos Gaytan from Bravo's Top Chef, Iron Chef America judge Mario Rizzotti, Richard Liccioni, chef at Les Nomades and Michael Lachowicz, chef at Restaurant Michael and George Trois, will all be in attendance. Restaurants like Tavern on Rush, Chez Moi, La Sardine, Le Bouchon, Mia Passione, Bistronomic, Volare and more will be participating.
