Acclaimed Chicago restaurant, Elizabeth, will be open on Tuesday evenings starting on August 9. The Michelin-starred restaurant's "new gatherer" tasting menu will be available Tuesday through Saturday, with seatings from 5:30-9 p.m. Dining guests will delight in a multitude of incredible courses prepared by Executive Chef Ian Jones (NoMI; Bavette's; Band of Bohemia; Sepia; Kitsune). The choice of spirit-free beverage pairings, wine pairings or reserve wine pairings, curated by Beverage Director Ali Martin, may accompany the menu. Chef Iliana Regan's legacy of farming and foraging pure ingredients continues under the direction of owner Tim Lacey (Trio; Kitsune; Spring; Green Zebra; Custom House; Drawing Room) and aforementioned Executive Chef Ian Jones. Their commitment to utilizing lost or forgotten foods and each season's sustainable bounty results in simply stunning, unique and flavorful dishes. The midwestern aesthetic first begun by Chef Regan will always be celebrated. Elizabeth's summer menu is detailed below. For table reservations, visit Elizabeth-Restaurant.com. Elizabeth 4835 N.
