This livingsocial deal just popped up.  Chicago Gourmet to You is offering your choice of two options, both priced at $99:  An in-home culinary experience for two or interactive cooking class for 12. 

Opt for the intimate date night, and snuggle with your honey as a chef composes a five-course meal right in your kitchen — think lobster and shrimp bisque, pan-roasted skate with wild mushroom ragoût, and exquisite dessert. Or, liven things up with 11 food-loving friends: There’s no such thing as too many cooks when you collaborate in this hands-on experience to make refined comfort classics like short-rib lasagna rolls and mocha pots de crème. With this three- to four-hour experience, you’ll do more than bring home the bacon — you’ll bring 17-plus years of event and party experience to your living room.  Limit one voucher per person; one additional as gift.  Service range is a 20 mile radius of 60601 (the Loop); $25 additional charge for further distances.
