Checking out Free Music in the Community: Lincolnwood Chamber Orchestra Concert at Republic Bank

 One of the best aspects about living and exploring in Chicagoland is discovering that some of the best community events are budget-friendly or even completely free. In the summertime, these are everywhere, with plenty of options to choose from. There could be outdoor concerts along the skyline downtown, in your local park, or even indoors so that you can beat the feels-like 105-degree, popsicle-melting heat we’ve had this week.   We found one related to America’s 250th birthday and attended an after-hours networking event hosted by the Lincolnwood Chamber of Commerce at Republic Bank in the Skokie/Lincolnwood area on the north side.

Stephanie Izard was born in the Chicago suburb of Evanston but grew up in 
Stamford, Connecticut, where her parents got her hooked on food with their 
themed dinner parties, weekly menus posted on the fridge and a life-changing
trip to Epcot where she couldn’t wait to get home and recreate the crepes she 
ate in “France.” As much as she loved cooking (and eating), she went the traditional 
route first and got a sociology degree from University of Michigan. Soon thereafter, 
she discovered that all she really wanted to do was cook. After graduating from the 
Le Cordon Bleu program at the Scottsdale Culinary Institute, she worked at several 
restaurants, including the Camelback Inn Resort & Spa, before making the decision 
to return to Chicago in 2001. Stephanie is the winner of season four of 
Bravo’s Top Chef, owner and executive chef at Girl and the Goat, author of her first 
cookbook, Girl in the Kitchen: How a Top Chef Cooks, Thinks, Shops, Eats, 
and Drinks.
Location: Chicago, IL, USA

    LOVE her! I had the great honor of sitting in the "chef's seats" (the two right on the kitchen), and had the best food of my life. I actually dreamed about one of the desserts last night... GATG is amazing.
