We have a couple of great presentations coming up for new and growing small food businesses:

On March 28, we've invited Moss Architecture & Design to come speak at Kitchen Chicago about the process of finding and building out the right space for food businesses, with a focus on sustainability.

And on April 11, we've asked the team at Barrington Packaging Systems Group to return for their "Packaging & Branding" presentation. They will be discussing a variety of topics, including packaging, pricing, building a brand, and product distribution.

Both are open to the public. RSVP's appreciated, but not required. Hope you can join us!

After some back-and-forth with a number of City of Chicago depts, including CDPH, BACP, and Cultural Affairs, we've arrived at a draft ordinance proposal that will be presented to City Council this Wednesday. Next steps involve the ordinance going before the Committee on License and Consumer Protection before coming up for vote in City Council, potentially next month.

A few final changes are being made, but we should have the draft for those interested in the next few days.
