The Traveling Chefs at the Moorings

Butter-ccino from Rob Campbell
On the 13th of October we had the pleasure of celebrating the traveling chefs initiative at the Moorings of Arlington Heights.  The celebration was extra special due to it also being the 25th anniversary of the Moorings.  The event was located in the spacious recently renovated foyer. The chefs did a great job embracing the fall theme into their dishes and the event was enjoyed by all.

The featured chefs were from the following communities.

Andrew Koziol from Lieberman in Skokie- Apple cider donut holes with dulce de leche

Alan Miller from Weinberg in Deerfield- Roasted beet and goat cheese napoleon with balsamic caviar

Bart Stopyra from Felician Sisters in Chicago- Apple wood bacon wrapped figs

Ben Walanka from Lake Forest Place- Pear cider brined all natural pork belly with cranberry chutney and corn cake

 Robert Campbell from Westminster Place in Evanston- Butter-ccino a roasted butternut squash soup with truffle foam and pancetta chip

 Joe Martinez from James King Home in Evanson- His signature huckleberry mojito with mint infused syrup

Kevin Chlada the host- Homemade roasted duck and apple stuffed pumpkin ravioli with ginger creme 
Since we began the traveling chefs we have been constantly evolving the program.  This event at the Moorings really raised our standard and expectations we want to achieve from these events.


Thanks to everyone for their hard work and dedication.
