Chef Jeff Schmehl traded life on the road as a tour caterer for the kitchen at Mac's on Slade, a new eatery and music venue in downtown Palatine. His Beer Burger pleases patrons and musicians, like Joel Tarpinian of Island Lake and Mac Rietz of Tower Lakes.

About this Article

For several years Jeff Schmehl worked as a tour caterer, cooking for acts like Taylor Swift and Van Halen. Today he's still rocking, but the bands he feeds are decidedly lesser known. After meeting his wife on the road and deciding it was time to settle down, Schmehl has settled in at Mac's on Slade, a Palatine spot that features dinner every day and local bands on the weekends.
