The document proposes the Chicago Foodseum, a museum that would educate visitors about food history and culture through exhibits on specific foods. It would celebrate Chicago's role as a "food capital" and include exhibits on foods like hot dogs and sausage. The museum would also have a restaurant, event space, and gift shop. It outlines the mission to inspire appreciation for food and lists departments like exhibit design, marketing, and operations that would support the museum. It provides background on the team and asks for help in establishing the nonprofit organization.
Food museums have become the next generation of sightseeing in major cities across the world. Cities like New Orleans, LA, New York, China, Yokohama, Japan (Noodles), Berlin, germany (Pork Sausage), Bruges Belgium (Fries) all have museums.
Why are you different? Chicago has long been known as the ‘meat-and-potatoes town,’ [and] we claim to have invented deep-dish pizza. We are identified with big, heavy foods that can last you all day long,” says Penny Pollack, dining editor of Chicago Magazine. “But a funny thing has been happening in the last few years. We are leaders of the techno chef revolution. We are on the cutting edge of this scene.” With James Beard winners and Finalist like Grant Aschantz, David Posey. And World renowned chefs Charlie Trotter and Rick Bayless. Chicago’s star chefs are not just putting out fine food; they are elevating it to an experimental art form. “A lot of people come to Chicago expecting Chicago-style hot dogs and pizza, but they will be blown away by what chefs are doing and preparing at high-end restaurants. Take Alinea and Moto; they’re not just doing American fusion. These people are doing scientific experiments with food, and people are lining up and down the block and making reservations months in advance to get in,” We are a city of neighborhoods. http://www.todaysdietitian.com/newarchives/082508p34.shtml
