It suits Chicago food lovers and supporters of the American Cancer Society who want a tasting evening with a charitable purpose, since the event features over 40 Chicagoland restaurants at individual tasting stations and is in its thirteenth year. Professionals looking for industry education or business contacts will get less from it, because it is a fundraising tasting event rather than a working conference.
Guests at charity tasting galas in a big-city ballroom usually wear cocktail attire or dressy business casual, with comfortable shoes for moving between stations.
