When you work in events, thinking outside the box becomes second nature. But transforming the start/finish line of the NASCAR Chicago Street Race into a stunning open-air Italian dinner? That’s a new kind of challenge—and exactly the kind of experience our team thrives on.

Set against one of the most high-profile stretches of pavement in the city, we helped bring Chicago Gourmet’s Dinner on the Track to life. This unforgettable culinary event merged fine dining with fast cars, delivering a night unlike any other.

Our team built a fully functioning kitchen directly on the track and flawlessly executed five beautifully plated courses. Every detail from kitchen setup and guest flow to temperature control and timing was meticulously planned. Pulling it off in the middle of a hot, unpredictable Chicago summer? No easy feat, but our team delivered seamlessly.

We were honored to collaborate with an extraordinary lineup of chefs including Joe Frillman, Leigh Omilinsky, Steven Maak, Tony Priolo, and Fabio Viviani, whose culinary vision transformed the track into something truly magical.

We’re proud to have partnered with Chicago Gourmet, the Illinois Restaurant Association, Invesco US, and Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits to reimagine what’s possible when incredible food meets an iconic setting.

This is what we do: push boundaries, elevate experiences, and transform unexpected spaces into unforgettable moments.
