The team that created the NYC Food Film Festival is bringing a slightly different slate of flavors to the windy city for the first ever Chicago Food Film Festival, September 24 and 25, 2010.
For this first edition, they bring with them Mr. Okra, "a portrait of a man who sells produce from his rolling farmstand/pickup truck in New Orleans. Winner of the Audience Choice Award, 2009 NYC Food Film Festival" and Beer Wars which was featured this summer at NYC Food Film Festival.
Another feature, Eat your Fill is about Milwaukee Adman and professional eater Phil Wesson who embarks on his annual mission to consume every food item at the State Fair that is either A) deep fried, or B) on a stick.
Check the Full Listing of foodie films for the rest.
As is the case in New York, you will be able to eat what's on the screen.
The Chicago Food Film Festival Blog will keep you updated.
