Al Trunko was a hoot! I’d like to thank everybody that joined us on a beautiful Indian Summer’s afternoon and braved the gastronomical oddities that I curated for our tour. Big thanks to Trunk Show, Raven and Jesse for creating this opportunity, its a wonderful project that literally takes the art to the streets, how could I not be thrilled and flattered to participate! Mostly I was just stoked to show off the southwest side of Chicago, which was unchartered territory for many of the guests. Not only did we sample the native culinaria, but the culture/ history/ architecture/ signage of this part of the city offered a lot more to chew on.
