Bespoke Cuisine

I attended the Italian Dinner Party with a couple friends as a Friday night outing. I'll preface…read moremy review by saying that I had certain expectations given that I'd been to a couple cooking classes at the Chopping Block. The class/party was three hours long (6:30 - 9:30). The first portion of the event is time to just drink and socialize (Bespoke is BYOB) while indulging in the fruit and cheese that's provided. The actual cooking started around 7:15. We were split into four groups with one group working on salad, one on appetizers, one on entree and one on dessert. Because of my experience with other cooking classes, I was definitely under the impression that we'd be given the opportunity to learn and cook all items on the menu so being the wanna-be chef that I am, I was a little off put when I realized that I'd only get to cook one course. I think the verbiage on the website is a bit misleading because it is presented as though each group is preparing a multi-course meal, not that each group is preparing a portion of a multi-course meal. Also, i thought the groups were a bit large. There were seven people in our group which I felt made it even harder to truly get the experience cooking the one course we were assigned since responsibilities had to be spread out amongst more people. Now for the good stuff.....I thought the menu was awesome. I actually was more impressed with the Bespoke menu than many of the menus at The Chopping Block. Our menu consisted of arancini stuffed with panchetta, white bean and rosemary bruschetta with cured egg yolk, chicken saltimbocca with creamy polenta and sicilian broccoli, and almond cake with chocolate sauce. The arancini and almond cake were out of this world good. Also, the owners/chefs were super friendly and helpful, but I do feel that the Chopping Block chefs are more knowledgeable....at least from my experience. I'd say if you're looking for a fun night out with friends and you're looking to just let loose and be social while doing a whee bit of cooking this is your spot. It truly is a dinner party (emphasis on party). If you're like me and you're looking to actually up your culinary skills I'd recommend going to a true cooking class, which is not what I'd consider Bespoke to be.

Besides keeping hands far away from the incredibly hot grill, following are a few things I learned from the cooking class/meal at Bespoke. You want to get there early if you have your heart set on making a specific dish. If not, you might end up making something less interesting, like the salad. Though each part of the meal is made by a different group, you will get to try all the dishes during the meal and every recipe is later emailed to you. It's BYOB. If you take wine, they will uncork it for you and put a label on the bottle so you don't forget which one is yours. The instructors are knowledgeable, informative, and entertaining. A lot of your experience can depend on the random strangers in your group for the food preparation or sitting next to you during the meal. We were at a table of couples and had some very lively conversation. Though this could be fun to do with a group of friends, part of the experience is getting to know new people. The recipes for our meal were excellent. Even the salad had interesting elements like picked green beans. If you are looking for a cooking class that emphasizes technique, this is not the right one for you. The Bespoke experience is more about a fun time, a good meal, and recipes that you can try later.

Daniel is simply the best in the business. From start to finish, he made sure I looked and felt my absolute best. The entire experience was first class. His professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for his clients are unmatched. He truly takes the time to understand exactly what you're looking for while also offering expert recommendations that elevate the final product beyond what you imagined. What separates Daniel is his eye for style and fit. He knows how to create a look that feels timeless, sharp, and completely personalized. The process felt like a true VIP experience from beginning to end. There honestly is nothing else like it. All three locations, Lake Forest, Chicago, and San Francisco are incredible and reflect the same level of quality and service. If you're thinking about getting into custom clothing, do not waste your time or money going anywhere else. You will not regret it for a second. In addition to my suit, I also had custom shoes, two custom shirts, suspenders, and other accessories made. Every single piece came out perfect. I couldn't be happier with the experience or the final result. Daniel absolutely crushed it. Excited to brainstorm the next suit!

The best quality suits I have ever worn with a fantastic selection of personalized options. Having worked with Daniel out of his San Fransisco location in California I was always wanting to visit his original space in Chicago. I finally had the opportunity and am so glad I was able to see where it all began. Daniel helped me lock in new styles I had never considered including a pinstripe and burgundy suit. They are my absolute favorite pieces of clothing and I get compliments whenever I wear them. The fit is perfect and I know I am looking my best whenever I go out or give presentations. Having shopped around with other tailors I can say Daniel's quantity to price is without match. I have been to 4 tailors over the years and did not know what good quality was, what makes material "good quality" nor what questions to ask. Daniel explained what makes a good suit, fit, look, style and now I know when I am getting the best quality to suit the situation. Daniel George suits are superior to any other tailor's work I have seen thus far. Previously I was told I was getting the "best" or the "latest style" however when I compare other suits made by other tailors to my Daniel George suits, I only end up wearing the clothes I have had made at DG. Would highly recommend coming to this location and going bespoke. You will not regret it.

I recently had my wedding on 3/21. I ran a marathon for time on 1/11. I gave them the ridiculous task of making me 2 customs jackets when I would be 15 pounds heavier in March than all the months before. They nailed it even though they had to guesstimate my measurements. We didn't even need an adjustment. Years ago, before I knew about them, Balani made me the shittiest, most wrinkle prone shirt I've ever owned. Then I found Nicholas Joseph, who gave me the level of quality I was looking for, all at an extremely reasonable price. I have no doubts you'll get the same result.

David's the kind of magic man who can take a 15-year-old suit of clothes that no longer fits as it once did (in my case, a dark pinstripe jacket and slacks) and transform it into a newly tailored set of threads that fits perfectly and actually made me feel handsome. How he did this is beyond me but probably involved a magic wand of some sort. I cannot recommend Zeglio Custom Clothiers on Broadway in Lake View highly enough. And David gets a solid 11 out of 10.

I found Zeglio by accident years ago when I needed to get a cheap tuxedo altered for my sister's wedding. When I walked in, I was quickly greeted by Richard. He happily suggested a nearby place for alterations, but before I left, he put one of Zeglio's bespoke jackets on me to show me the difference in fit. When I left that day, I knew I wanted to have my wedding tuxedo created by these people. When that day finally came, I called Zeglio's Lakeview location to begin the process. My call was warmly answered by Richard and the experience began. Richard is an incredibly talented and knowledgeable designer. During the design portion, he was informative, patient, and considerate, which made the whole experience really enjoyable. I did my fitting and alterations at Zeglio's store in Loop. The place is super slick inside and the tailors really make you feel important: from the professionalism all the way to the small details most people would overlook, but makes a HUGE difference (suggesting I have the length of one of my shirt sleeves shorter than the other so my watch can be visible or altering the length of my pants so my socks show when I'm sitting down). Just an amazing attention to detail! My tuxedo only required a few minor adjustments. When I finally put everything on I was shocked at how flawless everything felt--I've never worn anything that has fit me so perfectly. This tuxedo made my wedding experience so much better. I wasn't nervous because I knew I looked good! It's amazing how your confidence is affected by the clothing you wear in a situation.
