Chef’s Table

The Illinois Restaurant Association is proud to present the 46th Annual Chef’s Table, a masquerade-inspired evening dedicated to celebrating and honoring the foodservice industry. Presented by Home Grown Program supported by Sysco, this annual event will take place on Thursday, April 17, 2025, from 6 pm-9 pm at Rockwell on the River (3057 N Rockwell St, Chicago). Join us for a night of culinary excellence and mystery where Chicago’s top chefs and restaurants come together in support of the next generation of hospitality professionals. Guests will indulge in an array of expertly crafted dishes from more than 30 of the city’s best restaurants, sip handcrafted cocktails, and enjoy entertainment including a DJ, a roaming photo booth, tattoos from Crispy Aura Tattoo Studio, and a jewelry station from Kendra Scott, all set against a backdrop of candlelight, rich textiles, and timeless elegance.

Tickets are now available for $250 per person and will raise vital funds that directly benefit the IRA Educational Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to building and promoting the health and prosperity of the restaurant industry by investing in our youth and our workforce.
