Farm Dinner season is coming to an end, and if you haven't had the chance to go to one yet, now is the time. Slagel Family Farm is hosting its last dinner of the season. We brought you a gallery of photos from Slagel a few weeks ago, and if those photos made you want to head back to the land, join Chef Nicole Pederson (of C-House) and chefs from One SixtyBlue this Saturday, October 8. more ›

If you haven't bought your copy of Jennifer Olvera's Food Lovers' Guide to Chicago, don't do it yet! You'll get it tonight. She is co-hosting a very well-priced dinner with Spence Farm at Browntrout. The $40 cost includes four courses of local produce, a signed copy of the book (for each couple) and the opportunity to meet Olvera and the farmers from Spence Farm. Wine pairings are available for an additional $30. more ›

Farm dinners are wonderful, but when you add up the transportation, booze, food and tours they often top $200/person, a price tag we can rarely justify. This event, which pairs Slagel Family Farm with one of Chicago's favorite restaurants, is only $95/person. What does that include? more ›
