The Peterson Garden Project was founded in 2010. The organization aims to inspire and teach Chicagoans to grow their own food in the community. Gardeners {newbies included!} can join for a low fee {$75}, and must participate in a training before gardening. Gardeners are assigned to a garden plot in the city {more information here}.
At Saturday's event, local Chicago chefs will provide delicious eats and share their own kitchen inspiration through a dish that tells the story of who and what inspired them to cook. The event also includes entertainment, wine, and cocktails. Participating chefs include:
- Alvin Yu {Fyusion Dining}
- Amanda Rockman {Nico Osteria}
- Brad Newman & Michael Taormina {Cookies & Carnitas}
- Chris Pandel {Balena, The Bristol, and Formento's}
- Dave Miller {Baker Miller}
- Erling Wu-Bower {Nico Osteria}
- Joe Frillman {Balena}
- Patty Neumson {Herb Restaurant}
I recently visited this great place for events in NYC where our lovely waitress in only her second shift ever had to tell me about all these new dishes, I’ll always remember that taste.
