ADVERTISING & SPONSORSHIP RATES

For 22 years, Cooking with the Best Chefs has provided cooking and baking classes to home cooks and bakers throughout Northern Illinois. We have advertising placements available throughout our website and sponsorship opportunities with our classes and events. We're always open to new ideas! The visitors to BestChefs.com reflect the largest membership organization of foodies and wine enthusiasts in the Midwest.

BestChefs.com has been online for 16 years! Our website is one of the oldest food and wine websites in the Midwest. We do not have an audited circulation and our rates are a great value, especially in the current economic times. We average 4,000-5,000 food and wine viewers monthly  and represent a history as the area's leader in cooking classes, and culinary and wine events, and day trips.
