- IUPUI executive chef Nate Jackson leads a discussion in the Nourish Cafe following a We Are City screening.
The documentary was called A Matter of Taste, a fascinating film that followed the ups and downs of a New York City chef.
Afterward, a panel was convened for conversation, including co-presenter Michael Kaufmann of the Health and Hospital Corporation of Indiana and special guests Becky Hostetter of Duos mobile kitchen, Cynthia Wilson of Kountry Kitchen and Neal Brown of The Libertine and Pizzology.
After this lively conversation, "action tables" were formed in Nourish Cafe at the IMA, courtesy of We Are City co-presenter Anne Laker of the IMA.
Attendees listened and mingled for well over an hour talking about food from a social justice and city-identity point of view.
Next event is a bicycle documentary, On My Own Two Wheels, in March.

Bratwurst prevails in Super 46 sandwich battle
Posted by Scott Shoger on Thu, Feb 2, 2012 at 4:00 PM
The bratwurst bested the Rock Cola 50s Cafe's Mile High Club in the finals. Schnitzelbank owner Allen Hanselman reports that bratwurst demand was high this month; the restaurant went through 100 pounds of bratwurst per week (about 500 to 600 links), as opposed to the usual January allocation of 30 pounds per week. The bratwursts are served with sauerkraut and red slaw atop rye bread or a soft pretzel.
The entire list of 46 sandwiches may be accessed at Super46.com. The Super 46 contest was created by the Indiana Office of Tourism, the Indianapolis Super Bowl Host Committee and Emmis Communications.
