Join JBF Greens for a dinner party at avec in the West Loop neighborhood of Chicago.  

For over 17 years, avec has served Mediterranean and midwestern-influenced plates on Randolph Row. At the helm is chef de cuisine Dylan Patel, who started at the restaurant as an intern in 2015.

Chef Dylan will curate a rustic menu that incorporates Indian flavors inspired by travels to his grandfather’s farm in India. This intimate dining experience will take place on the 2nd floor and will mirror the style of dining at avec: communal.

The evening will also feature sparkling wine from J Vineyards & Winery.

*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. 

*Please note: Only communal seating is available for this event. You will be seated with other members and their guests. 

*Please note: There are two (2) avec locations, and this event will be taking place at the West Loop location (615 W Randolph St, Chicago, IL 60661). 


Maintaining a safe and healthy environment for our guests, chefs, and entire restaurant team to experience our events is a top priority.  The James Beard Foundation will adhere to city, state and/or federal regulations along with the policy of our host restaurants, which may include: wearing masks when not at your table, maintaining 3-feet of distance away from guests, or providing proof of vaccination.
