by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation
More...The Experience
Use your AAdvantage® miles to indulge at the Grand Chefs Experience, a one-of-a-kind evening celebrating culinary creativity and compassionate giving, taking place at the iconic Field Museum.
The night begins with a tasting reception featuring signature hors d'oeuvres from top Chicagoland restaurants, complemented by great wines, craft cocktails, and a culinary-inspired silent auction. Then, descend into the grandeur of the museum to dine beneath Máximo, the world's largest dinosaur! Guests will hear an inspiring story from an honored CF Fighter and take part in our powerful Bid for a Cure and thrilling live auction- all supporting vital research and progress toward a cure for cystic fibrosis.
The celebration doesn't stop there. Cap off the evening at Nightcap, Chicago's premier after-party, featuring live music, handcrafted cocktails, indulgent pastries, and late-night bites. From start to finish, expect flowing libations, unforgettable flavors, and a powerful sense of purpose.
