We appreciate the support of the Janie’s Mill, Publican Quality Bread, which have provided prizes for the 2023 event. We are also grateful to The Hyde Park Neighborhood Club, which allows us to use their venue at no charge; Medici on 57th, which has fed our judges and donated coffee for the event over the years; 57th Street Books, which has donated cookbooks for our winners. Janie’s Mill, a central Illinois flour farm and mill, is also a long-time sponsor the event. Previous prize sponsors include the Emily Hotel, Asrai Garden, and Roof Crop, Trader Joe’s in Hyde Park, the Sophy Hotel, the Promontory, Hyde Park Produce, Superkhana International, and many other Hyde Park businesses over the years. Our judges are all volunteers, and our musicians always donate their talents.


It would be impossible to hold this event without the great generosity of our South Side neighbors, who all believe in supporting the Hyde Park/Kenwood Hunger Programs along with us.

Thank you to all of our generous supporters!
