Why we selected Catherine
When we started our search for the new host way back in January, we posted this:
If you’re engaging, lively, inclusive, smart, and knowledgeable about Chicago, food, wine, and spirits, it could be you! Here are some characteristics we’re looking for in the new Check, Please! host …
...Our new host needs to be nice, fun to work with, and a brand ambassador for Check, Please! He or she could be currently (or formerly) working as a chef, server, bartender, sommelier, restaurateur, writer, blogger, or other occupation that allows for a broad, intimate understanding of the culinary world. Previous on camera experience is not necessary.
