Slow Food Bloomington Chefs Dinner

The Slow Food Bloomington Chefs Dinner is coming up this Sunday at 5:30 at the Bloomington Convention Center. Here’s the menu (subject to final tweaks and improvements.) The wine pairings are still in the works. Tickets are available for $100 per person at Bloomingfoods East and West, or email me if you are out of town.

Looks delicious – as always! Great food, wine and music -- and all for a good cause.  Come have a wonderful evening and help us send our delegates to Terra Madre. If you are in south central Indiana, please plan to join us!!

Hey Christine,

I'm getting pumped for Sunday! This is my first year at the Chef's Dinner and I can't wait! Note: I think that the crepe from Finch's is in a whole grain mustard jus (or maybe whole grain mustard mushroom jus).

Best,
Sarah A.
