Andrew Zimmerman, the award winning, Michelin Starred chef of Chicago restaurants Sepia and Proxi knows a lot about food. Stay tuned for delicious globe-trotting recipes, pro cooking tips and more.

Terry Alexander is one of the hardest working and Terry Alexander is one of the hardest working and most generous people I know.  He hired me for my first (and second) chef position in Chicago and I’ll be forever grateful for the faith he showed in me.  I’m really proud to be part of the restaurant community here and Terry has had an out-sized impact on how we eat and drink in this town.  I am so glad to know him.
