Hosted by Chicago Superstar Chefs Paul Kahan, Tony Mantuano & Restauranteur Donnie Madia Gianfrancisco, Lemon: Chicago Returns Monday, August 7, 2017

The exclusive culinary event brings together an incredible group of chefs to create a one-of-a-kind culinary experience to benefit childhood cancer research.

In their continuing efforts to raise funds and awareness for the fight against childhood cancer, Chicago’s own Chef Paul Kahan (One Off Hospitality Group), Chef Tony Mantuano (Spiaggia) and restauranteur Donnie Madia Gianfrancisco (One Off Hospitality Group) will host Lemon: Chicago on Monday, August 7, 2017. This exclusive culinary event, presented by Northwestern Mutual, will bring together 30 superstar chefs from across the country to serve signature tasting dishes at Revel Fulton Market, in the heart of Chicago’s trendy, urban-chic West Loop area.

Lemon: Chicago returns with a new format, allowing guests to sample a range of culinary dishes at each chef station while mingling with top chefs. In addition to the delicious food, drinks and fabulous auctions, Liz and Jay Scott, parents of founder Alexandra “Alex” Scott, will share the story of how Alex and her lemonade stands inspired a national fundraising movement leading to innovative childhood cancer research.

Since it debuted in 2014, Lemon: Chicago has raised over $720,000 to fight childhood cancer.

Individual tickets for Lemon: Chicago are $195 and sponsorship opportunities are available. For more information, visit LemonChicago.org.
