The Banchet Awards is a celebration of culinary excellence in Chicago, gathering more than 400 of Chicagoland’s foremost chefs, culinary professionals, and industry insiders. It is the sole Chicago-based awards ceremony honoring originality and talent across the region. Named after Chef Jean Banchet, who was inducted into the Chicago Chefs Hall of Fame in 2013, the organization pays homage to his legacy.

Awards such as Restaurant of the Year, Best Heritage Restaurant, Best New Restaurant, and a special honor recognizing the remarkable achievements of Roland Liccioni—renowned for his work at Le Francais in Wheeling and Les Nomades—will all be presented during the ceremony.
