• Celebrities gotta eat, so help feed them on The Taste

If your idea of fun is listening to food writers tell stories embarrassing themselves, there’s a banner two days in a row coming up. Chicagoist editor Chuck Sudo will be among the lineup at That’s All She Wrote on Sunday, July 20, at the Savoy. And the very next night at Homestead, there will be a bevy of food people, including Fountainhead chef Cleetus Friedman, Molly Each, David Zivan, editor of CS magazine, Time Out Chicago and Sun-Times Splash contributor Samantha Lande, Kelly Aiglon of Red Tricycle, and . . . your humble correspondent hisself. The $30 ticket includes appetizers, Crafthouse cocktails, and Dark Horse wines, and benefits Un86’d, which helps restaurant professionals in need; get tickets here.
