Chefs Gilbert Langlois and Eric Aubriot will cook together for a special five-course Fall Wine Dinner at Chalkboard on Oct. 22, beginning at 7 p.m. The cost of the dinner is $55 per person (excluding tax and gratuity).

Langlois and Aubriot are long-time friends and collegues and have not had the chance to cook together before. "I enjoy inviting other chefs into my kitchen at Chalkboard," says Langlois, who most recently cooked at his restaurant with Top Chef Stephanie Izard.

Aubriot recently opened Taste Wine & Food, a wine shop and European-style grocery in the heart of the burgeoning Jarvis Square neighborhood of Rogers Park.  Aubriot says Taste offers good wine at a good price and a knowledgeable staff of good people.
