28 - Poutine Fest

Meet Melissa, co-organizer of Chicago's (the world's?) first Poutine Fest. In the episode, Melissa gets us up to speed on the world of poutine, talks about building a festival from scratch, shares her favorite Italian joint in the city, gripes about the less-than-immediate "immediately following" trains and learns a little bit about our old friends, the Chicago Seven.

The festival is already sold out but Stefania will be on the scene reporting on all the deliciousness, so be sure to stay tuned to the Your Chicago twitter.
