Sponsored: Last Chance to Have Dinner with the Legendary Paul Kahan

By Emily Rothschild

If chefs are celebrities, then the legendary Paul Kahan is one of Chicago's biggest (a slightly older Matt Damon, perhaps?). He's the man behind a slew of top-rated area hot spots, like Avec, Big Star, Blackbird, The Publican and the newest addition to the empire, Publican Quality Meats, a part butcher market, part gourmet restaurant that's renown for its fresh-baked bread and house-cured charcuterie. On Tuesday, January 29, the MasterCard Priceless Chicago program is partnering up with Kahan to deliver a truly priceless experience – and foodies will want to listen up: the chef himself will be preparing an exclusive after-hours dinner featuring PQM's famous charcuterie, carefully selected cheeses and impressive seafood tiers, plus some of The Publican's most celebrated dishes and wine pairings. This once-in-a-lifetime meal is open to 12 diners only, ensuring an intimate experience that you'll be talking about for years.

The evening, which is open to MasterCard holders, is $150 a person, and you can get more details (and guarantee your spot) here. And if you go, be sure to take lots of pictures to share with us (read: make us jealous.)
