Hello there LTHers,
I just started recently working with chef Trevor Teich who owns and runs Claudia – a fine-dining pop-up restaurant. I attended one of his dinners back in January and came away very impressed.
Claudia is hosting two 8-course dinner seatings featuring a brand new spring menu on Saturday, March 12. The full menu and some photos are posted below. Would love to see some LTHers at the spring dinners at Claudia.
Teich started Claudia – named after his mother – in December 2014. Teich – whose first job in a professional kitchen at age 28 at three-star Michelin L20 under acclaimed chef Laurent Gras – also later worked at one-star Michelin Acadia under chef Ryan McCaskey and at NoMi under chef Ryan LaRoche.
Tickets for the Claudia spring dinners must be purchased via
http://www.claudiarestaurant.com. There is a 5pm seating that can accommodate up to 16 guests, and there’s an 8:30pm seating that can accommodate up to 16 guests. Both spring dinner seatings will be held at a private event space located at 327 N Bell Ave in the Near North Side.
Tickets are $155 each for the 8-course Claudia spring tasting menu. Tax is included in the ticket price but gratuity is not included. Claudia is BYOB and there is no corkage fee. The tasting menu is listed below and it's also on the Claudia website --
