Food Life: What's Hot This Summer

"Summer is undeniably the best time to live in, visit, and take advantage of Chicago. Between shopping along the Oak Street boutiques, grabbing a drink at any one of the Gold Coast’s abundant sidewalk cafes, and strolling along our beautiful lakefront, it’s no wonder Chicago flourishes in the summer.

Chicago’s summer atmosphere is always geared towards parties—getting together with friends, socializing, and enjoying the gorgeous weather. Personal chefs are quickly reinventing the entertaining landscape with creative culinary concepts to make this summer’s soiree more elegant & memorable than ever before.

Destination Dinners: Personal Chefs are being called upon to travel near and far, and sail the high seas to create an extraordinary dining experience no matter what the location. Entertaining takes a whole new level this summer when a restaurant experience can be enjoyed in any setting..."

Father's Day

Another Father's Day gift, another tie. Bill Cosby said it best: "Fatherhood is pretending the present you love most is soap-on-a-rope."


We challenged you on Mother's Day to get creative this year, and why should our fathers be any different? Alter Ego Concierge is always pleased to celebrate parents of any age & every interest with these unique gift ideas:


Grill Out: Give Dad a night off this grilling season and truly entertain his culinary palette! Our chefs offer unique approaches to your average dinner party or guy's night with twists such as a beer tasting menu or a Mexican fiesta. 


Personal Assistant For A Day: Could you imagine if Dad was actually able to enjoy his round of golf in peace? Our assistants will mark off Dad's to do list, from the oil change to paying the bills, Dad will finally have his hole-in-one.


HandyMan: Our housemen can take care of those pesky gutters, lightbulb changes, lawn mowing, and all the other daunting tasks Dad handles year round. Beware: he may be looking for one of these guys YEAR ROUND too!


For help on picking out the perfect Father's Day gift for your own Ward Cleaver, gift us a call at Alter Ego Concierge.
