Express Chicago is more than a cocktail competition; it's about driving change in the hospitality industry. Recognizing the need for radical inclusion, equal representation, and accessible education, the U.S. Bartenders Guild and Grey Goose created Express Chicago to empower bartenders from underserved Chicago neighborhoods. Participants craft signature cocktails that reflect their neighborhood, with four winners getting the chance to showcase their talent, elevate their skills and gain the recognition they deserve.
