JBF Greens Chicago x Mi Tocaya Antojeria

Reception   12:00PM
Brunch        12:30PM

Join JBF Greens at Mi Tocaya Antojeria for a celebration of the 33rd annual James Beard Foundation Restaurant and Chef Awards in Chicago. The Logan Square neighborhood restaurant will open for brunch just so that JBF Greens (and friends!) can ring in the 2024 Awards.

Translated to mean "my namesake" in Spanish, Mi Tocaya highlights chef — and James Beard Award nominee — Diana Dávila's mission to reshape Mexican cuisine. Since opening the restaurant in 2017, chef Diana has established herself as a leader in and out of the kitchen. During the pandemic, she not only launched the Todos Ponen Project to support undocumented workers in the hospitality industry, but also provided free meals for the community, and remained steadfast in her commitment to her employees, farmers, and local vendors. 

For the occasion, chef Diana will prepare a 3-course brunch that highlights traditional favorites as well as lesser-known regional specialties inspired by her summers traveling through Mexico.

<sub>*70% of your ticket price will go directly to the host chef to support their business while 30% will go towards the Foundation’s national programming that is rooted in advocacy, racial equity, sustainability, and women’s leadership for the culinary industry.
