Star Struck Night of Celebrity Chefs

Last night, a friend (Thanks, Kell!) forwarded me her tickets to Food+Wine magazine's Chicago Entertaining Showcase, for FREE!!!!!

Oh what luck I have! I called my fellow food friend JP and we made out way to the event. What a star-studded night! We got to talk to all of our favorite chefs: Graham Elliot, Stephanie Izard, Rey Villalobos, Jared Wentworth, Bill Kim, and TAKASHI YAGIHASHI!!!

 Is it embarrassing to admit what a fangirl I am of these guys?

Here's JP and my awards:
Best celeb: Stephanie Izard
Best dish: Longman and Eagle's Jared Wentworth
Most elaborate: Naha
Best Dessert: Takashi
Nicest conversationalist: Randy Zwiben

Oh my.. I can't even begin to mention the fun we had...
