    Ingredients Screening Logo

    Join the Lincoln Square Chamber of Commerce Sustainability Committee's celebration of food & film, farmers & chefs at the DANK Haus!  In a partnership with Jim Javenkoski's Local Food Wisdom we will be presenting the screening of the documentary Ingredients, a film illustrating how people around the country are working to revitalize the connection between local food, the local community, and our health.  Ingredients is a journey that reveals the people behind the movement to bring food back to the table and health back to our communities.

     

    During the film our guests will enjoy a family-friendly, seasonal meal featuring foods prepared by businesses in our neighborhood (City Provisions, The Grafton Pub, and Provenance Food and Wine).  Following the food and film Jim Javenkoski will moderate a brief Q&A session with a panel of special guests who will offer their insights and perspectives on Chicago's burgeoning local food system.  Attendees will have an opportunity to purchase the Ingredients DVD for $20.
