One night. One table. Two chefs whose paths couldn't be more different — and a menu that only makes sense because of it.

On March 26th, Chef Francis of Vendador and Chef Ethan Lim of Hermosa come together for a single-evening, 5-course hybrid tasting menu inside a secret room at The Publishing House in the West Loop. The menu draws from both of their backgrounds — Albanian and Cambodian culinary traditions, classical fine dining technique, and the best of what's coming into season.

Ethan opened Hermosa in 2015 and has been cooking family-style Khmer cuisine with the precision of someone who trained at The Aviary, NEXT, and The Office. His restaurant is #12 on Chicago Magazine's Best Restaurant List and an Eater Essential.

The evening begins at 6:30pm with a cocktail reception and passed bites, followed by dinner at 7:00pm. Wine and spirit-free pairings available for purchase. All dietary restrictions will be accommodated, please note them at the time of booking.
