The 69th Annual Latke-Hamantash Debate @ UChicago
Scholarship meets snacking at this annual humorous debate of the potato latke versus the delicious triangle-shaped cookie (there, I've finally voiced my opinion). Free to attend, but $5 gets you a post-debate sampling of the subjects in question. Event takes place at Mandel Hall at the UChicago campus (located within the Reynolds Club at 1131 E. 57th St.). Event starts 7:30pm; if you can't make it in person, there will be a livestream.
