Chicago is simply not Chicago without the personalities of its foods and restaurants. The University of Chicago Culinary Club would like to introduce the University and the surrounding Hyde Park neighborhood to Chicago at its tastiest by publicizing places of gastronomical interest. The Culinary Club is a recognized student organization of the University of Chicago, with an agenda heavily based upon opening the community's eyes to food culture with such events as cooking lessons, trips to soup kitchens, providing culturally-themed dinners to the student body, and food-related seminars (including, for example, a beer tasting). <br> <br> <br>If you're interested in any of the following activities (would like to know what they're about, would like to help, etc.) or - especially, since our event-organizing decisions are heavily influenced by members' interest - if you'd like to suggest your own, contact <a href="mailto:yflim@uchicago.edu">me</a> or <a href="mailto:acassing@uchicago.edu">Allison</a>. <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br><b>A sampling of past events</b> <br> <br>Study Break(s) <br>Fundraisers - e.g. bake sales <br>IFF (International Food Festival) booth <br>Chocolate tasting, wine/beer tasting - in short, tastings of any sort (subject to constraints, of course) <br>Restaurant visits <br>Culinary-themed neighborhood tours <br>Books2Eat (see <a href="http://books2eat.com/">books2eat.com</a>) <br>Iron Chef <br>Potlucks <br>Cooking lessons <br>Classes - e.g. cake-decorating and knife skills <br> <br><b>Other events</b> <br> <br>Pie-eating contest: <br>Prior to 2007, held annually during Summer Breeze in spring quarter; since eating contests are no longer allowed during Summer Breeze, future contests will be held at a different time and place if there is sufficient interest. <br> <br> --------- <br> <br> <br><b>Board members (2007-2008)</b> <br> <br>Co-Presidents: Allison Cassing, Emma Boast <br>Treasurer: Betsy Sabroske <br>Webmaster: Yee Fay Lim <br>Board members: <br>Gabriel Bender, Lauren Guerrieri, Katie Moser <br> <br> <br><b>Board members for 2008-2009 to be decided early Fall 2008</b> <br> <br> <br> </small> </td> </tr></table> </font></body></html>
