Charlie Trotter Day(s)

In celebration of Chicago's Charlie Trotter Day, alum Darren McGraw of Ampersand Wine Bar offers a tasting menu highlighting dishes from and inspired by his days at the eponymous restaurant. A portion of proceeds go towards the Trotter Project, whose mission is to carry on the legacy of Charlie Trotter in his generosity with helping children dream big (http://www.thetrotterproject.org/charlie-trotter-day-event-page)
