Chicago Gourmet released its initial list of chefs and sommeliers for the 2011 event and it looks fairly similar to last year. The food fest takes place Sept. 23-25 in Millennium Park and, yes, the Hamburger Hop is back. On again to discuss all things wine are Alpana Singh and Serafin Alvarado. As for the chefs? Expect to see the likes of Rick Bayless, Greg Biggers, Tony Mantuano, both Jimmy Bannos', Gale Gand, Chris Curren, Kevin Hickey, Stephanie Izard, Eddie Lakin, Shawn McClain and dozens more. We just hope that with this many chefs cooking that we'll actually get to eat this year instead of getting drunk while waiting in line. Just an idea. [EaterWire]
