C O O K ’ S C O R N E R

Hello again – can it be that since our last chat, summer has come andgone and we sit on the cusp of yet another Chicago winter? How delightful.And if you’re really not a “winter person” perhaps some of our goings-onwill make you a convert.

I hope by now you have had the chance to check out Cathedral Hall andthe new initiatives we implemented in October. We had a tremendous

“restaurant week” and averaged over 120 diners each night – it was great; the joint was rockin’, and itallowed us to show everyone what we’ve been up to. If you didn’t make it, look for another chance in early2012. In the meantime stop in for a cocktail with a view, or perhaps a bite from our November menufeaturing my seasonally inspired cuisine. This month I see porcini, pheasant, pumpkin - all foods startingwith the letter “p”…just kidding. You can check out the menu anytime on the website. I hope you takespecial note of our new format and pricing which allows you to determine not only how much you eat butalso spend.

Also food related, renowned author Patricia Wells returns to the Club on November 22 to discuss hernew book Simply Truffles, the black and white kind, not the chocolate. So if you’re a foodie, you don’t wantto miss her. P.S. PRI76ME Night still rules Thursdays.

With November we kick off the start of our holiday season and much will vie for your attention, from theChampagne Tasting to Thanksgiving Day in Cathedral Hall. It all eventually leads up to the grandest partyof all, New Year’s Day. So in this social whirlwind time of a year, a few things to remember:

• Always make reservations early…the Club events are extremely popular, a tradition for many, and wewant you to get the day and time you prefer. I know some think we can always squeeze just one more in, butwe don’t hold special tables or have one in the pocket like some places, and our team works really hard toaccommodate all requests.

• Think about our Pastry Shop To Go program; perfect for Thanksgiving, let us provide the cranberrybread, pumpkin pie or harvest rolls to round out your feast; we thought about “turkeys to go” but thatdidn’t fly…actually more to do with available oven space. Pastry Chef Jimmy MacMillan not only crafts histempting delights but also ensures beautiful packaging so any item is suitable for gift giving as well.

• The holiday buffets are quite simply like nothing else. No grander space exists in Chicago thanCathedral Hall, especially during the holidays. So for family, friends or relatives home for the holidays, aspecial thank you for colleagues or clients, or just fellow members enjoying the camaraderie of the Club,there is simply nothing like it.

So there you have it, a short lexicon of the next two months. And while this article seems to run onforever, there is much more happening this festive season, so check out our new website, look for ourweekly Club eblast (and sign up for them if you haven’t; they contain what’s current and cool and oftenpreview special offers or promotions not in the monthly newsletter). Why not go green all the way and optto receive your 76 newsletter electronically? Let’s all help out the Post Office and our trees.

That’s it for now, I do look forward to seeing you around the Club and I hope you and your familieshave the very best of holiday seasons. Now it’s time to go chop down my Christmas tree! So much forgoing green…

Mark Baker in the “new” Cathedral Hall.

Mark Baker, Executive Chef
