CHICAGO—Fairmont Chicago, Millennium Park, has opened a fully-dedicated on-site kosher kitchen, which will cater to guests planning Jewish weddings, bar and bat mitzvahs and other special events.
Under the direct supervision of The Chicago Rabbinical Council, the culinary team at Fairmont Chicago will prepare the food in-house in the CRC certified kitchen.
“We recognized that adding an on-site kosher kitchen would be a very welcome resource to the Chicagoland Jewish community. The entire team at Fairmont Chicago is excited and honored to provide our guests with exceptional, artfully prepared kosher cuisine,” said David Sher, director of food and beverage at Fairmont Chicago, Millennium Park.
A 15-year hospitality industry veteran and native of Israel, Sher joined the team at Fairmont Chicago in 2013 after holding a variety of positions at luxury hotels and restaurants, including general manager of Olive Leaf Restaurant at the Sheraton Hotel & Towers in Tel Aviv, Israel; director of banquets at RIHGA Royal Hotel in New York; and general manager of Rosewater and Sassfraz dining complexes in Toronto.
In 2010, Sher joined Fairmont as director of food and beverage at Fairmont Chateau Laurier. He is a graduate of Institut Hotelier “Cesar Ritz” Colleges in Switzerland and has an associate degree in international hotel management.
