Chicago Gourmet Show 2009 card
It's happening this weekend!
 Don't miss the food event of the year!


Dirk's Fish was asked by the Illinios Restaurant Association to participate in the 2009 Chicago Gourmet show. We were ecstatic that they thought of us and we accepted. Now there is another good reason to go to the show. Dirk's Fish will be at the seafood pavilion on Sunday, September 27th from 2:45 until 5:00. Stop by and say hello because will have a drawing for a $100.00 gift certificate. Terry and I  went last year and had a great time and this years show is going to even better!
