We’ve picked 16 of Chicago’s most talented chefs—from such restaurants as Fat Rice, Topolobampo, Blackbird, Dos Urban Cantina, Analogue, and more—and challenged them to cook a dish using one of four chosen ingredients this Friday in the West Loop. That’s where you come in: Get a ticket to this year’s Key Ingredient Cook-Off, sample all 16 dishes, then vote for your favorite.
To reveal the four special ingredients—chorizo, plantains, achiote seeds, and tomatillos—that will be used at this year’s “South of the Border”-themed #KICO, we’ve harnessed the power of pancake artist Dancakes. See his masterworks take shape below.
