Aloha All!
Celebrate International Tiki Day with us this year by enjoying brunch at the fabulous Chef Shangri-La in beautiful North Riverside, IL on Sunday August 15th from 12:00-3:00.
Yeah, I.T.D. is officially the 14th, but why not celebrate it the whole weekend? This is just a fun get-together to recognize I.T.D and to enjoy the Chef. There is no admission charge, there will be nothing for sale, you only pay for what you eat and drink. In fact, if you are among the first to arrive, there will be a free commemorative screen-printed poster for you.
Those of you who have been to the Chef know that it is one of Chicago's hidden oasis of tropical delights. Many feel that the Mai-Tai at the Chef is second only to Trader Vic's (but a much better value!). Exotica will tickle your ears, there is loads of vintage Witco to dazzle your eyes, and their food is always a tasty treat.
So come out and join Paul, Susan, and the whole gang. Enjoy the tropical atmosphere, Sip the magical Mai Tai, taste the classic cuisine, and hear exotic sounds at the Chef Shangri-La.
The Chef is at 7930 West 26th Street in North Riverside.
Hope to see you there!

After reading our original post we realized we forgot to mention a very, very important fact about the poster, that the design was done by our good friends, Amy & Duke Carter. On another note, we were at the Chef over the weekend and were told they will have an expanded buffet on 8/15 similar to the Exotica Sunday Buffet. See ya at the Chef.

I'd like to come, but are kids welcome (ages 4 and 6 and, from what I'm told, well-mannered)?
It would be a nice way to recover from the tiki party I'm throwing for the block on Saturday night.
