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!

Oh my God, how thrilling! That’s fantastic — and happy birthday!
Oh Lori Lynn, what a wonderful gift! You must be still wandering in the memory by the time you get this comment, and I hope the memory is still having you in the clouds! Sorry for the late birthday wishes too…but I hope this year will be special in all its delightful surprises – it started out that way it seems!

What an amazing and thoughtful gift. I worked with a very talented assistant years ago who worked as a pastry chef at Charlie Trotters. I learned a lot from her, so enjoy soaking it all up! Will look forward to the replay!
