Weekend with Chef Sarah Grueneberg

July 21, 2024
B and S

Join us for a weekend with James Beard Award Winners Chef Sarah Grueneberg & Belinda Chang!

“Listen to your vegetables”, says the James Beard Award-winning Chef, Sarah Grueneberg. Sarah’s culinary approach of “following the food” and truly understanding “the dish” by knowing the people and culture that created it has guided her culinary journey. She is now the Chef and Partner of Monteverde Restaurant & Pastificio in Chicago’s West Loop and author of the book “Listen to Your Vegetables”. Since her childhood cooking with her grandparents on their ranch in Victoria, Texas, the Houston born-and-raised Chef knew she was destined to work in the culinary world. After graduating from culinary school in 2001, she started her first career-changing job with a position at the iconic Brennan’s of Houston and by 2003 was named the restaurant’s youngest female sous chef. Grueneberg opened Monteverde in November 2015 and in 2017, she received the James Beard Award for “Best Chef: Great Lakes” and was a semifinalist for “Outstanding Chef” in the 2019 & 2020 awards and held a Michelin star for 3 years.

We are honored to welcome her to The Loren for a cooking demo with cocktails on Friday, followed by a Venetian festival with wine pairing on the Disk on Saturday. Last but not least, a beautiful brunch special at The Pink Beach Club.
