Spirited Storytelling: A Morning of Cocktails and Conversation with Andrew Friedman + John’s Food & Wine – Public & Private Event

The Chicago Chefs & Owners behind John’s Food & Wine, Adam McFarland & Tom Rogers (Chicago Tribune: Best Chefs 2025), invite you to the neighborhood stronghold making waves for its alternative counter service approach to elevated dining. Listen live as they share the JFW difference with lauded podcaster and industry voice Andrew Friedman (Andrew Talks to Chefs; Chefs, Drugs, and Rock & Roll, etc.). The trio will engage in an interactive podcast recording diving deep into their industry-disrupting service and business model, and how it allows them to pay their staff far above standard – encouraging audience participation and active Q&A throughout.

True to JFW style, the team will feed you martinis, “the best French fries in Chicago”, caviar and more until your cups and plates runneth over. Come hang!

Invite: General Public, Board of Trustees, Nominees, Former Honorees, Presenters, Media, Judges & Committee Members
