Masters of Social Gastronomy: Fake Meat

Tuesday, Apr 24

Free / 21+

Each month, MSG takes on a curious food topic and breaks down the history, science, and stories behind it. Accept no imitations, because on April 24th we'll be talking FAKE MEAT.

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. We'll take a look at crafting mock duck and tempeh at home, as well as where to shop if your culinary prowess fails.

There'll be samples of historic fake meats so good you might be inspired to replace your veggie burger with some history food, along with drink specials from the always awesome Buffalo Trace Bourbon.

Everything starts at 7pm, is totally free, and includes the chance to win a pack of veggie treats from the appropriately named Fake Meats (fakemeats.com). All you need to do is RSVP here so we have enough samples to go around!
