Top 5 Reasons to go to the Better Homes and Gardens “Chill and Grill” Festival:

1) It’s in Chicago

My hometown! I have to tell you, this city simply sparkles in the summertime. The crystal blue waters of Lake Michigan and the legendary architecture make this skyline a sight be behold.

2) There’s live music

An outdoor festival just isn’t complete without some rockin’ tunes! Chicago is famous for it’s blues scene and there will be several local bands on hand to get the party started!

3) Guy Fieri will be there

Guy is so much fun and I love it when we get a chance to sit down and chat. He is a fantastic addition to an outstanding lineup of chefs and presenters at the festival.

4) You can win $10,000 and a Weber Grill
