Today is my birthday. The reason I am telling this tidbit of information to the world is to share my excitement over the coolest birthday gift from my brother, Don, and sister-in-law, Kristy. I will be the Guest Chef For The Day at Charlie Trotter’s Restaurant in Chicago, spending the complete day in the kitchen including food preparation training and working on the line! Then after cooking from 2 PM to 9 PM, I change out of my chef’s whites and sit down to dinner in the dining room with my family. Whoo! Hoo!
“Charlie Trotter’s is regarded as one of the finest restaurants in the world. For 20 years, the restaurant has dedicated itself to excellence in the culinary arts. Never willing to rest on its laurels, Charlie Trotter’s Restaurant is innovative and progressive in the world of food and wine and has been instrumental in establishing new standards for fine dining.”
If any of my friends, including my blogger friends, are in Chicago on this particular summer evening (date to be determined), come to Charlie Trotter’s (reservations required) and let me cook for you!
Thanks Don and Kristy. I love you. Whoo! Hoo!

Tanti auguri di Buon Compleanno! Awesome gift. I’d be terrified, I guess, but I am sure it will be a fantastic experience.
“”Oh my gosh Lori Lynn…I’m so exited for you I’m in tears!!””
This morning at breakfast my husband, kids and I were talking about over coming our fears..and using strength within to do what we most want to do but aren’t willing to go beyond ourselves to do..(I know a bit wordy)..but, what you are about to do would be one of those things for me that I would LOVE to do..but would have a hard time going beyond myself and my fears and actually doing it!
My thoughts are with you..You Go Girl!!!
And a HUGE “Happy Birthday!!”
sounds like a ridiculous amount of fun!! happy birthday and have a great time!
