EMÁJYN’s latest ‘Feast Like The Bear’ event was our biggest yet - an immersive dining experience inspired by the Emmy and Golden Globe–winning TV phenomenon, produced for one of the world’s top law firms and its most valued clients.
Hosted inside one of Chicago’s most iconic culinary staples, the evening brought together acclaimed chefs and restaurateurs Donnie Madia, Paul Kahan, Rob Levitt, Dylan Patel, Justin Selk, and Chris Zucchero, serving and discussing their signature dishes from The Bear’s real-life inspirations - Avec, Publican, Ever, and Mr. Beef.
Guests stepped inside a full-scale homage to the show:
