Chef Bowles to cook for Lollapalooza headliner

29-Jul-09 – Marina City resident Graham Elliot Bowles – the youngest four-star chef in the nation – will cook for headliner Jane’s Addiction at this year’s Lollapalooza music festival.

He will also be cooking at the festival’s food court. Bowles (left) told the Chicago Tribune this week he will be serving what he calls a “heartland picnic.”

In an interview with W magazine, the 32-year-old guitar-playing Bowles said, “We’re going to have a booth serving things like lobster corn dogs, truffle parmesan popcorn, and buffalo wings with micro celery, blue cheese foam and [Pabst Blue Ribbon] bubbles.”

The music festival is scheduled for August 7-9 at Grant Park.

Bowles lives in the west tower at Marina City. He is the chef and owner of Graham Elliot’s, a restaurant in Chicago’s River North neighborhood. In June, he competed with other world-renowned chefs on Bravo television network’s Top Chef Masters.
