It was a low carb dieter’s dream.

Wednesday night, some of Chicago’s finest chefs joined St. Francis winery to offer up a feast of red meat and wine. The Big Red event, a fundraiser to benefit the Boys and Girls Clubs of Chicago, was held at the University Club downtown. Offerings included roast beef tenderloin and gorgonzola risotto, oxtail ravioli dumplings, braised short ribs, and roast lamb loin chops.

In our podcast review of the event (What is a Podcast?) we caught up with Jesse Fultineer of N9NE steakhouse, David Burke of the forthcoming Primehouse David Burke and current NYC fave David Burke and Donatella, Noah Bekofsky of Aria, and Gil Langlois of SushiSamba.
