“When you think of Chicago’s best chefs, the award-winning names participating in our Chef Series rise to the top,” added Alex Sugarman, senior vice president, strategy and ballpark operations, Chicago Cubs. “Since the inception of our restoration project, our food and beverage offerings have improved dramatically, and we’re honored these elite chefs will advance those efforts with their unique culinary approaches. We are excited to partner with them as we focus on continuously improving the fan experience at Wrigley Field.”

Each chef will serve up signature menus inspired by their favorite ballpark eats, reflecting their restaurants and signature culinary flare, on a rotating basis beginning June 2 when the Cubs take on the St. Louis Cardinals.
