Our Chef,  Benny is second to none.  

Born into a family where food was a way of life, Benny’s passion for the culinary arts was sparked at an early age. With butchers on his father’s side and a mother who was a pastry chef, he was surrounded by craftsmanship and flavor from the very start.  Benny refined his skills at the Illinois Institute of Art, building a career in some of Chicago’s most renowned kitchens. His experience includes roles such as banquet chef at The Signature Room, executive sous chef at Benny’s Chophouse, and executive chef alongside Rudy Malnati.  Every dish he creates is a blend of passion and professionalism—crafted with patience, technique, and a deep respect for each ingredient. For Benny, great food is about more than just cooking; it’s about honoring the integrity of flavors and elevating every bite with care.

He’s also made a mark on the culinary scene with an appearance on ABC7, showcasing his signature taco seasoning at Blue Star Taqueria & Margarita Bar.

Now, Benny brings his expertise to Palm Court. Come taste it for yourself!
