Chicago’s Kendall College is known for its success in churning out some of the best culinary talent in the country. On May 5th, with the help of alum chef Dan Fox, the nonprofit Kendall College Trust will work to keep that talent coming. Fox, who owns The Heritage Tavern in Madison, WI, will prepare a 5-course menu for up to 75 people in the school’s Dining Room, with all proceeds benefitting the school’s Scholarship Fund.

Chef Fox, a native of Dundee, Ill., moved back to Chicago and enrolled at Kendall after realizing his passion for culinary arts. At The Heritage Tavern, he offers a constantly changing menu with a variety of dishes ranging from beef to seafood to vegetarian fare.

This dinner marks the second installment in the Trust’s Blank Canvas Dining Series, an ongoing fundraiser featuring one-night-only dinners crafted by alumni and with the purpose of raising money for current Kendall College culinary arts and hospitality management students in need of aid. The event starts at 6:30 p.m. in the college’s dining room (900 N. North Branch), and free parking is available across the street. Cost per dinner ranges from $100 to $150 and includes five courses, complimentary beverages and sales tax. Reserve your table here.
