Each month, the MASTERS OF SOCIAL GASTRONOMY TAKE ON A CURIOUS FOOD
TOPIC AND BREAK DOWN THE HISTORY, science, and stories behind it. Up
this month: MEAT ANALOGS!Sarah Lohman will give you a run-down of
vegetarianism in the west. From Benjamin Franklin’s ”Tow-fu” to
Dr. Kellogg’s commercial “Protose,” we’ll explore just how
long we’ve been eating things that masquerade as meat.
Soma will be taking charge of all your favorite modern imitation
meats, exploring the many faces of soy and revealing the not-so-secret
fungi factories that power your favorite frauds.
And we'll be joined by special guest Chase Purdy, staff writer at
Quartz and the author of an upcoming book on the brains, money,
politics, and cultural implications of lab-grown, cell-cultures meat.
He takes the stage to talk about his coverage of the IMPOSSIBLE
BURGER—including a befuddling interview he had with the company’s
CEO and exploration into whether food itself has entered a post-truth
era.
Does the Impossible Burger live up to its name? Let's find out
together!
Doors 6:30 PM, show 7:00 PM.
Tickets $10 in advance, $12 at the door.

Dubbed a “historic gastronomist,” SARAH LOHMAN

Simon & Schuster in 2016.
SOMA [https://twitter.com/dangerscarf] was born in the South, is what
someone from the North would say. He cooks for fun, codes for hire,
