Eat Their Words!
Eat Their Words is a food-focused book club featuring literature and memoirs written by chefs, foodies, and other food lovers, where the content of the book is curated into a culinary experience by various guest chefs and restauranteurs.
Each month, we will read a book and discuss it during an evening event where the book is brought to life through a custom food experience or special meal. Books, conversation, and meal included in your ticket price.
Eat Their Words is presented in partnership with Booked Evanston along with other phenomenal culinary collaborators, depending on what we’re reading and eating.
