Dining events: Let the chef decide at Heaven on Seven

Heaven on Seven's ‘Feed Me'

Heaven on Seven makes it hard to decide. So don't. Instead, say “Jimmy Feed Me!” and the chef will make all the hard decisions for you. Pick how many courses — four for $30; seven for $40; or 10 for $55. Then, the chef decides what to send out, including appetizer, soup, entrees and dessert. Specialty items include the rice krispie fried chicken on a Belgian waffle with bacon-honey glaze and Cajun surf and turf with gulf shrimp and beef tenderloin medallions over white rice with black pepper meunière. Heaven on Seven, 224 S. Main St., Naperville. (630) 717-0777 or heavenonseven.com.
