Be a part of our Dine Around program!

This Fall, Chicago Gourmet is encouraging guests to dine out at fabulous local restaurants. From September 1-18, participating Dine Around restaurants will offer a special Chicago Gourmet inspired signature dish, prix fixe menu, themed event, specialty cocktail or wine (all wines and spirits must be a product of Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits, our exclusive partner).  Guests who dine during the program and spend a minimum of $50 can then enter online for a chance to win tickets to the festival.

Chicago Gourmet will promote the Dine Around program and spotlight all of the participating restaurants through efforts including dedicated program webpage, eblast, digital, and social media efforts with an aim to increase exposure of and foot traffic to your restaurant.
