Chef Big Bird

ABOUT
My name is Kevin Stack and food is my passion. I am a cook and a culinary student. It is my goal to become a chef, and this is my journey on becoming one. The city of Chicago is home to some of the greatest chefs and restaurants in the whole world. Food from every cuisine and culture can be found only a few blocks away from one another. Lifetimes of experience and knowledge of food are floating around all over the windy city. Perfection and innovation in the culinary world can only be found by pursuing it ever day. With that, here is my story. A cook, eager to explore food and adventure my way into becoming one of the greatest. Enjoy!

Bruschetta menu at NEO in downtown St. Charles. Bruschetta is so much fun to play around with. I had the Portabello Mushroom, Bean and Arugula, and Broccoli and Pork. The bread was crisp and golden brown on the outside, and soft in the middle. All three were extremely delicious. The restaurant itself was very comfortable with paintings all over the walls. The dimmed lights and intimate setting was more than enough to take my mind off of a very busy night at work. Perfect way to end the night.
