Tomorrow: Chris Kearse Cooks A Charlie Trotter Tribute Menu At Will

Charlie Trotter, the celebrated chef credited with putting Chicago on the dining map, died this Wednesday at the age of 54. This Sunday, November 10th, at Will, chef Christopher Kearse–who worked the fish station at Trotter’s lauded Chicago restaurant–will celebrate the chef by offering a tasting menu in his style. The menu will take the format of Will’s typical Sunday prix fixe (four courses for $45), but Kearse aims to pay homage to Trotter with each dish, employing his philosophy that “nothing be done the same way twice…these dishes will be today’s version of some of Trotter’s classics.”

Call 215-271-7683 or visit Willbyob.com to reserve a table. And check out the menu after the jump.
