Chicago Dine-Around

Chicago Dine-Around made for a wonderful team-building experience and delicious food! The staff was phenomenal—a special shoutout to Maureen at Giordano's for making our team meeting so fun and successful and for Brandon for his outstanding hospitality. It was the perfect way to explore Chicago’s culinary scene while fostering team connections. Highly recommend for corporate outings or special occasions!

Chicago Dine-Around was highly recommended to me to plan a Chicago themed event for a global leadership conference we were hosting in Chicago. Brandon and team were amazing. He had great recommendations for our out-of-town guests, and made the decisions easy and worry free. It was so easy, in fact, that I was worried that something would go wrong. Obviously, everything worked out perfectly, and we had a memorable evening. Thanks, and you are our go-to in the future for our team events.

I had a fantastic experience using Chicago Dine Around for a company outing in Chicago in October 2024. We selected the Architectural Dining Experience, a unique team-building activity that provided not just fun and food, but also a rich dose of history and learning. Brandon, the Event Planner, was excellent to work with, explaining everything in great detail and answering the many questions I had as I don't reside in Chicago and was bringing together a team of 20+ individuals from all over the country. Brandon also ensured that the restaurant we selected accommodated my team members' dietary restrictions. Karla, the Event Host, was onsite throughout the night, ensuring questions were answered on the ground and that our boat ride and dining experience were seamless. If you want a team-building activity that's not just about fun, but also about broadening your knowledge, I highly recommend going with Chicago Dine Around for any of their experiences.

We had an excellent time learning how to make Stuffed Deep Dish Pizza with Chicago Dine-Around at Giordano's! Our group was about 30 guests and every single person had a blast. Brandon and Genisis were awesome facilitators who turned pizza making into a team-building exercise. The competition was fierce :). We would 100% sign up for another event.

If you need someone to facilitate a progressive dinner in the city, Chicago Dine-Around is a great way to go. Brandon was fast with his responses pre-event and Maureen (Moe) was a pleasure to work with the day of the event. As the event planner, it was great to be able to relax. I didn't have to worry about the details, they took care of it!

Brandon was a gem to work with on a client event. He was incredibly responsive to all of my questions, calls, and emails, accommodating to my client's dietary needs, and flexible - helping us switch to a closer venue. The group had a ton of fun making stuffed pizza and we will absolutely be working with them again on future events.

We partnered with Chicago Dine-Around for the interactive culinary experience at Giordano’s. The event was excellent for our corporate group. It was the perfect blend of giving attendees a chance to interact with each other, have fun and some friendly competition, and experience a “taste” of Chicago. Having been to Giordano’s plenty of times, we’d never experienced it like this. Our host, Maureen, was a true delight. She had energy and enthusiasm and knew how to keep the event moving.

I had to organize the team outing of almost 50 people and ChicagoDineAround truly saved the day. The communication with Brandon couldn't have gone any smoother. He came up with recommendations that fit my teams need and worked out the best plan under our budget. We ended up doing the interactive culinary and boat tour combo. To start with, the deep dish pizza tasted surprisingly amazing and competition was fun(our team won and received free gifts). The shuttle we booked was spacious and always on time. Boat tour was a perfect experience for both local and remote team members who visited Chicago for the first time. It’s worth mentioning we went on the hottest day in Chicago but didn’t have any issue given the comfortable shuttle and covered lower deck on the boat. Brandon was professional and experienced, he answered all my questions promptly and provided solutions to all my problems. Im still receiving compliments for the events and really appreciate Chicago Dine Around’s effort to make the preparations easy for me!
