Dinner Details

Experience Esquire by Cooper's Hawk's next Chef: Brooke Williamson!

You may know Brooke Williamson as the victor of “Top Chef” season 14 or for her win on Food Network’s first “Tournament of Champions.” With stints on shows like Bravo’s “Top Chef Duels,” “Knife Fight,” and Food Network’s “Guy’s Grocery Games,” Brooke is no stranger to performing under pressure. But it’s her laid-back coastal cuisine that truly sets her apart.

Wine Club Members are invited to an exclusive evening to be the first to experience Chef Brooke’s coastal Californian-inspired menu, bringing a taste of sunny shores and salty ocean breeze to Esquire Chicago.

Guests are invited to order from Brooke’s Visiting Chef menu or from the full Esquire Menu. A $25 deposit will be required at time of booking your table and will be applied to your total bill at the end of your dining experience. Plus, receive a special personalized gift from Brooke! Space is limited, and reservations are first come first serve.

We are excited for you to join us!

*Please note, all items are regular price at this preview evening.
