Chicago’s elite gather to eat tiny food while pretending to care about hunger, all inside a dinosaur museum because nothing says “food justice” like sipping bourbon next to a T-Rex skeleton. 🍷🦖 First Bites Bash returns January 30, 2026 at The Field Museum, hosted by James Beard winner Jonathon Sawyer of Kindling, because apparently wood-fired redemption arcs are now a thing. Guests 21+ only—no kids, no IDs, no mercy. Parking: $45 in a muddy lot near Soldier Field. Donate to No Kid Hungry while holding a $18 craft cocktail. Afterparty at Hubbard Inn—show your wristband for one free drink and three existential crises.
