Global Tasting Tour
Spiaggia with Chef Sarah Grueneberg
A Celebration of Nomadic Bees
Wednesday, October 30, 2013 at 7:00PM

Spiaggia

Near North Side, River East


Spiaggia has long been the source of local buzz. Whether generated by its chefs’ star turns on TV, rave reviews from the press—including the current Michelin guide—or celebrity sightings in its prized booths, interest in this celebrated restaurant always runs high. Standard-setting Italian cuisine and impeccable service have inspired decades of diners to call this four-star Chicago institution both a timeless classic and a hive of culinary innovation.

For Condé Nast Traveler’s Global Tasting Tour, Spiaggia will once again generate buzz—this time created by bees. In 2012, Executive Chef Sarah Grueneberg, a Top Chef finalist and James Beard Foundation Best Chef winner, journeyed to Italy to study the ancient art of beekeeping and produce her own mono-floral honeys. Here she discovered that bees fly miles across the Italian countryside in search of the perfect blossom. Now, in a spectacular first-ever menu worth traveling for, a newfound passion meets Old World technique with Chef Grueneberg’s multicourse showcase of honey’s delicious possibilities. From roasted sea scallops with cardoon honey and truffle to suckling pig with polenta and sunflower honey, each course will be paired with wine from the restaurant’s famed cellar. And to top it off, every guest receives a sweet send-off gift selected by the chef. Don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime experience that will have you waxing poetic about the enduring magic of bees—and Spiaggia.
