The North Pole just got Southern! This holiday season Santa is coming to town to visit a special pop-up experience at Chef Art Smith’s Reunion located at the front of Chicago’s Navy Pier. The celebrity chef-driven concept is thrilled to announce the launch of a ‘Santa’s Southern Workshop’ pop-up! Open every weekend Friday through Sunday starting November 24 through December 23, guests will have the opportunity to enjoy a comforting soul-filled prix fixe menu developed by Chef Art Smith within the magical pop-up and can visit the big man, Mr.Claus while dining to make for a heart-warming holiday experience. The special prix fixe menu is available for $30 per adult, $15 per child and reservations can be made via OpenTable.
