On November 3, Lula Cafe’s Jason Hammel will host the third annual Logan Square Chef's Dinner to benefit Comfort Station Logan Square, a multidisciplinary arts space that provides free cultural programming for the surrounding community.
Since 2010, Comfort Station has held monthly art exhibitions, weekly films and concerts, potlucks, workshops, and lectures — each year further establishing itself as a micro-cultural center in the heart of Logan Square. Much of Comfort Station's operating and programming expenses are covered through donations and sponsorships from local patrons and businesses, with the annual Chef Dinner being the largest single source of funding that the organization receives each year.
Joining Jason in Lula’s kitchen — and in his conscious, culinary pursuits — are some of the neighborhood's most exciting chefs: Jared Wentworth (Longman & Eagle), Abraham Conlon (Fat Rice), Jared Van Camp (the forthcoming OWEN + ALCHEMY), Tony Bezsylko, Ethan Pikas and Justin Behlke (Cellar Door Provisions), Matthias Merges (Yusho) and Alfredo Nogueira (Analogue).
It’s a group comprised of celebrated artists in their own medium (food!), so naturally this dream team of local epicurean talent will collaborate on a six-course feast. Over the past four years, Logan Square has become a culinary destination in Chicago, and this annual Logan Square Chef's Dinner reflects the broad array of talent that is located in the blocks surrounding Comfort Station.
Tickets are available for purchase via this link for $165 per person — inclusive of all food, beverages, tax and gratuity. The evening begins at 6pm with cocktails and hors d'oeuvres.
