h o m e e v e n t s p h o t o s r e c i p e s l i n k s		a b o u t Welcome to the Culinary Club website. 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). We have divided our members into committees dedicated to planning specific events as listed below. Of course, many other members also contribute to their success. If you're interested in any of the following activities (would like to know what it's 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 me or Allison.
