On March 19, we present an experience like no other featuring the talent of Chefs Zach Steen & Jean Banchet Award Winner Javauneeka Jacobs from Frontera Grill alongside CIMA's Executive Chef Gee Cuyugan, Chef de Cuisine Jesse Resendiz, and James Beard award-winning Consulting Chef Sarah Stegner. Fresh farm-to-table flavors will be accompanied by hand-selected wines to complete this culinary journey.

Join us as we present an exclusive collaboration dinner at CIMA, located inside the newly opened Hyatt Centric Hotel. In the heart of Rosemont stands an ingredient-driven restaurant, drawing inspiration from the traditions of the Mediterranean while working hand-in-hand with local farmers and producers to bring fresh, expressive, seasonally-inspired plates to the table.
