DIGEST DIGEST
A day of making, tasting, and good conversation — celebrating the past, present and future of food. Programmed as a series of talks, interviews, workshops, and tastings, culminating in a dinner infused with narrative and theatre — Digest Digest examines the ways we create, consume and interpret our food.
Some of the speakers presenting at Digest Digest include Ken Waagner, the founder of e.a.t. Chicago and Scott Friedmann, the Chief Innovation Officer at Idea Couture. Digest Digest will also feature a workshop by food and beverage artists/innovators BevLab, tastings from Dr. Rhea Mehta and Vams Kambucha, and an after party featuring a DJ set from Natural Animal.
