This Week’s Episode: Browntrout, Tuscano’s, SmallBar Division
I just returned home after nearly two weeks in Japan filled with incredible meals (for which most I had only a faint idea of what I was actually eating), delicate confections, and some killer cocktails.
Art and food are two mediums that dovetail better than most any other cultural entities, so it’s apropos that they’re the co-stars of the show at The Art Institute of Chicago’s new Art and Appetite exhibit. Running now through January 27, 2014 in the Regenstein Hall, the lavish exhibition depicts vivid art pieces that span 250 years in American history, showing the trajectory of dining in various times and places.
Before you get all feasted out this holiday season, one particular smorgasbord to consider is the harvest feast being held at Kendall College on November 17. Four female chefs head up the culinary talent behind the event, showcasing seasonal wares from Spence Farm in Fairbury, Illinois.
