This weekend we had the pleasure of attending the Family Farmed EXPO in Chicago. On Friday night, we had a blast tasting some of Chicago's best local food at the Localicious Party. My favorite dish was an offering with house-made sausage and lentils from Osteria Via Stato and the best pastry goes to Pasticceria Natalina for a delicious almond concoction featuring honey and flower essences.

On Saturday, we checked out the Food Festival where we caught a chef demo with Paul Kahan and got a chance to hang out with Myles Harston of Aquaranch who was sampling his tasty Lemon Basil Vinaigrette. We also checked out great workshops led by Chicago visionaries and educators including: Ken Dunn, Terra Brockman, Seneca Kern and Blayne Greiner. 

Can't wait for next year!
