What are the ChicagoOriginals?
The ChicagoOriginals exists to promote dining in
local independent area restaurants, to provide diners
with a unique local flavor and to raise awareness of
independent restaurants in Chicago and its
suburbs.
Local restaurants like local bookstores, hardware
stores and coffee shops support their communities.
The dollars spent in local restaurants stay
in Chicago and local restaurants support vital local
charities. Passionate individuals develop local
restaurants. These individuals are driven by
a desire to offer something unique and exciting both
to our local patrons and to the guests who visit our
city.
The Originals believe that a vibrant, independent
restaurant community makes our city a better place
to live. A vibrant local restaurant community
increases a city’s culinary and cultural strength.
Chicago and its suburbs is a city with a unique flavor,
a flavor we can all be proud of. Local restaurants
ensure that this local flavor continues to be
delivered.
It is our hope that you take a moment to think
about this important issue and support all those
things that make Chicago and its suburbs unique, a
source of pride and, above all, a great city to live in.
Thank you.

The Fancy Food Show at McCormick Place was a
huge success!
We all had a great time and
the Beet chips and Roasted Red Pepper Chip Dip were
a hit! We met so many wonderful people
and a long list of business contacts (more about that
in another newsletter).
We'd like to
thank Jeff and Alexis owners of Kitchen Chicago,
(a shared-use kitchen we rented when we started
out) for allowing us the opportunity to present our
products at their booth. Check out their website and
store where aspiring chefs learn the food business

goodies http://kitchenchi
