One of New York\u2019s coolest dining concepts is coming to Chicago this November, and it\u2019s set to be the city’s ultimate culinary hot ticket. After nine wildly successful, sold-out seasons in NYC, The Lineup\u2014a chef-driven dining series founded by Chicago native Elena Besser and presented by Resy\u2014is bringing its in-the-know energy to the Ravenswood Event Center.<\/p>\n
The series puts the spotlight on the incredible rising talent working behind the scenes at Michelin-starred and neighborhood-favorite kitchens. It gives up-and-coming chefs a platform to step out from the kitchen and present a five-course dream menu that’s entirely their own.<\/p>\n

“Chicago has one of the most dynamic culinary communities in the country,” says founder Elena Besser. “We’re having a blast creating a platform that celebrates the cooks making this city special, while bringing diners even closer to the people behind the food.”<\/p>\n
Here’s the star-studded lineup taking over Chicago across three Tuesdays this November (each night features two seatings, paired cocktails and a multi-course meal):<\/p>\n
November 5: Derek Serrano (CDC, Mi Tocaya Antojer\u00eda)
Opening the series, Serrano brings a deeply nostalgic, soul-warming menu inspired by his grandmother\u2019s kitchen. He’ll present Mexican-influenced classics reimagined with modern techniques and fresh Midwestern produce.<\/p>\n
November 12: Colin McHugh (CDC, Oriole)
Coming straight from two-Michelin-starred Oriole, McHugh showcases precision and contrast with ultra-sleek, luxurious dishes like butter-poached lobster and sablefish cut with vibrant pickles, concluding with an inventive, savory, cheese-based ice cream.<\/p>\n
November 19: Luis Diaz (Sous Chef, Giant)
Diaz wraps up the inaugural season with a boundary-pushing menu reflecting his journey from Ciudad Ju\u00e1rez and Alaska to Giant\u2019s test kitchen. Highlights include duck barbacoa burritos, masa fresca gnudi and a seared cornbread with hoja santa ice cream.<\/p>\n
