It's a great night for champagne and jazz

It's a beautiful Saturday evening in Chicago. Perfect for some champagne and jazz Enjoy!

A fantastic discovery!

Recently I had the great pleasure of touring Molise, Italy with Beatrice Ughi (the lady having the most fun in the front!). She is one of the partners of Gustiamo, an importer and distributor of fine Italian foods in NYC. Her knowledge, passion and love for life is absolutely magical.

Just had the wonderful opportunity of shooting new work for Terzo Piano, Tony Mantuano's new restaurant in the Chicago Art Institute's Modern Wing (opening this Saturday, May 16). On a rainy day it's perfect; on a sunny day it's spectacular.

Perennial

I've been a huge fan of Ryan Poli since I met him years ago on a shoot at Butter. I recently visited him at Perennial, his new gig with another one of my favorite chefs, Guiseppe Tentori, and absolutely loved it. Try the charcuterie plate. Phenomenal! And the carrot soup. To die for.
