Beijing

3-star chef, Chicago style

Chicago-based chef Curtis Duffy, whose culinary direction has won his Grace restaurant a three-star Michelin rating for three consecutive years, will be in Beijing for four nights of special dinners to showcase his artful way with food. Duffy calls his style "personality cuisine" - cooking the way he wants to eat because he thinks that can best represent a chef. With accolades from Forbes and the James Beard foundation as well as Michelin, he sits on the advisory board of the Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts, with a $25,000 scholarship in his name. The dinners in Beijing are limited to 40 seats each night. The 1,880 yuan ($272) price includes wine.
