Exciting times, pots-and-pans nerds: it's the 100th anniversary of Le Creuset! The iconic kitchenware brand has been fueling our Ina Garten-esque kitchen fantasies for an entire century thanks to its stunning colorways—which seemingly go viral with each and every product drop—and serious-cook quality. And to celebrate such a momentous milestone, the French cookware company is reviving its nationwide dining pop-up, and the supper series is coming to Chicago this summer.
From May through October, Le Creuset is joining forces with Secret Supper to bring back its immersive dining series La Carte by Le Creuset, taking over three major cities across the U.S. in "the ultimate culinary experience," featuring some of country's most acclaimed chefs.
After kicking off in New York on Thursday, May 15 (with a meal co-curated by chef Fariyal Abdullahi, who currently oversees the kitchen at Marcus Samuelson's Hav & Mar), the series will head west for our very own Chicago for a one-night-only culinary celebration on Thursday, August 21. And after blowing into the Windy City, La Carte by Le Creuset will head to the coast with a San Diego dinner on Thursday, October 16.

Per the brand, each meal will take place at distinct locations that are "meticulously styled and transformed into breathtaking dinner settings," with the series' mission focused on "creating an inspiring atmosphere, celebrating the artistry of cookware, and fostering meaningful connections around the table."
However, you won't know the address of the Chicago supper ahead of time. The exact location of each event will be revealed to guests 24 hours in advance of cocktail hour. Along with gawking at those gorgeous cast-irons on the tablescape, Chicago foodies will also get to bond over their shared love of good cooking with some of the Windy City's finest culinary talents, though you'll have to stay tuned for the official chef lineup as well.
Tickets for the Chicago-set August dinner go on sale on Thursday, July 17 at 11am CDT, so mark your calendars accordingly—tickets historically sell out fast for this one! You can also sign up for Secret Supper's email list to stay in the loop.
