Global Perspectives, Local Heart: The Chaîne at S.K.Y.

The Bailliage de Chicago invites you to a midsummer celebration at the stunning new home of S.K.Y. inside the historic Belden-Stratford. We gather to experience the refined “Contemporary American” cuisine of Chef Stephen Gillanders, a culinary journey shaped by his travels across the globe.

The Culinary Vision

At S.K.Y., Chef Gillanders translates his most inspiring international experiences into a menu that is as approachable as it is sophisticated. Named after his wife, Seon Kyung Yuk, the restaurant features bold flavors and unexpected textures—such as his celebrated Maine Lobster Dumplings or Foie Gras Bibimbap.

The Evening’s Highlights

• A Global Tasting: Chef Gillanders’ signature blend of Asian influences and French technique, reimagined for summer.
• Curated Pairings: Selections from the Vinski collection.
• A New Landmark: The spectacular architecture of S.K.Y.’s new Lincoln Park residence.

“S.K.Y. is a collection of my most inspiring experiences from around the world, brought home to Chicago.” — Chef Stephen Gillanders
