May 12, 2011 - PRLog -- CHICAGO, Ill. – Executive Chef Patrick Sheerin is passionate about bringing fresh ingredients and farm-grown produce to the menus served at The Signature Room at the 95th.  For the fifth year in a row, he will share that passion with 30 lucky participants during two exclusive Garden to Gourmet cooking classes scheduled for Saturday, June 25th and Saturday, July 16th from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m.
