Fairmont Chicago (200 N. Columbus Dr., 312-565-8000) has announced the opening of its in-house kosher kitchen. It is the third Chicago hotel to offer such an amenity, following the example of InterContinental Chicago Magnificent Mile and the Hyatt Regency Chicago.
The new addition, headed by director of food and beverage and Israeli native David Sher, is intended to offer an alternative for the many Jewish guests who visit the hotel from the area and from abroad. To ensure that kosher traditions are upheld during food preparation, the Chicago Rabbinical Council will directly oversee the kitchen.
The menu will offer canapes such as an apple and potato latke, hors d’oeuvres such as chicken skewers with peanut sauce and an assortment of sushi and deli options and desserts. The hotel will also work with clients to customize menus.
