Can you believe it’s already Thanksgiving?   Where does all the time go?   For those who have too little time to whip up a big Thanksgiving holiday dinner with all the trimmings, a private chef is the perfect treat to relax and enjoy and extra-spectacular menu.

For those of us who won’t be able to enjoy the luxury of hiring a private chef this Thanksgiving, get ready to drool and perhaps find some holiday menu ideas and inspirations from our lead Chicago area chef, Austin, formerly of Grant Achatz’s Michelin-rated Alinea Restaurant.  Here is the menu he’s cooking for a special client this week.  Enjoy, and Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!
