ChicaGourmets! is delighted to be collaborating with our friends at CHIC Farmers Market and with CHIC Chef Lampros Tzimas for this exciting new series of International Sunday Brunches featuring outstanding guest chefs, wine importers, cheese makers, farmers, meat and seafood vendors. Before the brunch, we encourage you to visit the CHIC Farmers Market, which is located in the adjacent parking lot. In addition to the usual gourmet and craft items at the Farmers Market, there will be special themed merchandise fitting in with this Remembering Greece! brunch; don't miss the chance to purchase food and beverages which are usually only available wholesale to the finest restaurants.




Dionysos Greek Taverna

Guest Chef Lampros Tzimas has been the executive chef at Dionysos Greek Taverna for four years. His love affair with food began at an early age, working in his family's restaurant in Greece. He has also worked in the top hotel restaurants in Greece. He is noted for his creative, authentic Greek food.




Le Cordon Bleu

In the Great Lakes Region, the Le Cordon Bleu Programs are available only at The Cooking and Hospitality Institute of Chicago (CHIC). Le Cordon Bleu is the world's most famous cooking school, founded in Paris in 1895. We award an Associate of Applied Science Degree as well as Le Cordon Bleu Diplomas in Culinary Arts and Patisserie and Baking. By combining classical French cooking techniques with modern American technology, the hospitality industry eagerly hires our graduates. In fact, the demand for our graduates exceeds the supply!

The mission of The Cooking and Hospitality Institute of Chicago is to prepare students to fulfill their career aspirations and to meet the needs of the food-service industry through quality culinary, pastry arts, hospitality and general education curriculums of higher education.
