Meals on Wheels Chicago

By Margaret McSweeney | October 25, 2019

On November 8, Chef Jaime Laurita and I will emcee the Celebrity Chef Ball for Meals on Wheels Chicago. It’s extra special this year as the organization will be honoring the legendary Ina Pinkney. Ina is a dear friend and mentor. Her experience as a restaurateur, cookbook author, brand ambassador, a polio survivor and a woman entrepreneur is impactful. Ina’s passion to share her knowledge with others is her hallmark. On a personal note, Ina has been a constant source of encouragement during my recovery process post broken knee – all while she is recovering from a broken leg!

  • Chef Thai Dang, Ina Pinkney, Chef Jaime Laurita and me

Chef Thai Dang will be one of the celebrity chefs featured at the event. He is the Executive Chef of Haisous, a highly acclaimed Vietnamese restaurant in Chicago. Ina has been a mentor and friend to Chef Dang during his culinary journey. And how fascinating to learn about banana blossoms!
