s the leaves turn color and a winter chill descends on our city, we’re offering a little bit of warmth to brighten your day with the new Fall 2016 issue of Bite. Just as always with our growing organization, the magazine has undergone quite a few changes in the past quarter. The most notable has been the start of our brand new Community Committee, focused on bringing a greater number of large and small scale culinary arts-related events to the UChicago campus. We began this quarter with a group trip to Joong Boo Korean Market in Avondale. Looking forward to the future, we have our sights set high for a panel on “Women in the Food World” taking place winter quarter, as well as a South Side Food Festival in spring. These events are meant to forge more of a community around the celebration of and love for food on campus—if you’d like to be involved with our efforts, be sure to e-mail and let us know! For now, though, we’re proud to present our latest issue, which takes our readers from by-now familiar additions to the Hyde Park food scene, Dollop (6) and Cemitas Puebla (5), all the way to Aloha Eats in Lincoln Park for some Hawaiian food that adds a tropical tinge to any frigid day (7). Our features this issue cover the practical skills of meal prep, useful to any college student constantly on the move (16), as well as the perhaps even more practical information on the best donuts that Chicago has to offer (11). Recipes range from savory treats from around the world like Nigerian Jollof Rice (22) and shrimp ceviche (23), to snickerdoodle brownies (18) and Beigli (21), the perfect prelude to the upcoming holiday cookie season. Thanks for your readership and support as Bite continues to grow—we can’t wait to see how things turn out, and hope you’ll join us for the ride!
