James Beard Award-winning Chef Rick Bayless and Windy City Playhouse Artistic Director Amy Rubenstein announced they will join the cast of their hit immersive production A Recipe For Disaster, written by Bayless, Rubenstein and Windy City Playhouse Associate Artistic Director Carl Menninger and directed by Jeff Award Winner David H. Bell.
The team also announced the production has been extended through Sunday, April 24, taking place on the Club Level at Petterino’s, 150 N Dearborn St.
Bayless will join the cast in the role of Jude, with Rubenstein joining as Shelley for 20 select performances beginning March 23.
The fully immersive event gives audiences the opportunity to sample food designed by Bayless along with cocktails and wine pairings by Lanie Bayless as the production unfolds. Based on Bayless’ real-life experiences, the story is set during influencer night at The Contumacious Pig, one of the city’s hottest restaurants, when everything that could possibly go wrong occurs.
