Getting Back to the Farm
Even though leaving your house might seem insane in the cold weather we're enduring, you may want to get your three layers on and head to the Family Farmed Expo at the Chicago Cultural Center, which runs today through Sunday. Cooking demonstrations from heavyweights Rick Bayless (Frontera/Topolobampo), Paul Kahan (Blackbird, Publican) and Gale Gand (Tru) are on the bill, along with lectures on sustainable eating, low-carbon diets, and farming. Vendors such as Chicago Honey Co-op and Growing Home will be selling their wares. The event kicks off tonight with Localicious!, a wine and cheese soiree featuring locally produced foods. Ticket packages $15-60.
