Eat Their Words: Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe

Eat Their Words is a food-focused book club featuring literature and memoirs written by chefs, foodies, and other food lovers, where the content of the book is curated into a culinary experience by chefs and restauranteurs.

Each month, we will read a book and discuss it during an evening event where the book is brought to life through a custom food experience or special meal.

Monday, March 10, 7:00 - 9:00 p.m.
Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe by Fannie Flagg

$50-$75 sliding scale includes book (courtesy of Booked), dinner and drinks inspired by Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe, and book club activities and discussion, and a private shopping experience at Booked before and after dinner.

March Eat Their Words Book Club will be at Booked in Evanston.
