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!!
