SUMMARY:Special Event: A Juneteenth Celebration
DESCRIPTION:With African American Historian Elizabeth Hinton\nThursday\, June 19th 6:30pm | Tickets $98\nThis event is SOLD OUT\, but please email us at rhcatering@zingermans.com to be added to a waitlist!\nJuneteenth\, celebrated on June 19\, marks a pivotal moment in American history­—freedom for enslaved people in Texas\, two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued. The coast of Texas and Galveston Island were major hubs for the slave trade in the early 1800s\, and despite President Abraham Lincoln’s declaration\, the trade continued. It was not until June 19\, 1865\, when Union General Gordon Granger declared: “The people of Texas are informed that\, in accordance with a proclamation from the Executive of the United States\, all slaves are free…” \n\nSince then\, Juneteenth has grown into a day of remembrance and celebration\, especially of freedom—and of course\, the rich culinary traditions that are part of that freedom. On June 19\, 2025\, we’d love for you to join us at the Roadhouse to explore some of these foodways. Our guest speaker will be acclaimed author and Yale History professor specializing in African American Studies\, Elizabeth Hinton. Her special appearance will be a little bit of the prodigal professor pops back up in her hometown—Elizabeth grew up in Ann Arbor\, worked at the Roadhouse during her time as  a student at U of M\, and was the keynote speaker at one of our first African American Foodways dinners way back in 2007. Elizabeth will help us reflect on the significance of Juneteenth\, and will talk to us about how Black foodways have evolved to inform us of our current culinary experiences.  \nWe’re also honored to have the University of Michigan Library with us; they’ll share a new edition from their Special Collections of “A Domestic Cook Book” authored by Malinda Russell\, published in Paw Paw\, Michigan in 1866. This is no ordinary cookbook—it is the first commercially available cookbook written by an African American woman! Chef Bob will be preparing a sumptuous menu inspired by Russell and some of the Black chefs\, cooks\, and food writers who appear in Patrick-Earl Barnes’ beautiful art piece\, “”Blacks in Culinary\,” which hangs in the Roadhouse. As we enjoy their recipes\, we will learn from Juli McLoone\, curator of Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive\, about the significance of Russell’s culinary contributions\, including the resilience of the human spirit\, and the inspiration to thrive and create with meager provisions while under oppression. \nWhether you’re drawn by the celebration of the holiday\, your passion for cookbook collecting\, the tribute to Juneteenth\, or simply the promise of an exceptional meal\, we would be delighted to host you. \nA portion of the proceeds will benefit the University of Michigan Library\, and additional donations can also be made here! Thank you! \n  \nMENU\nPlated Appetizer\n\nCrab Croquettes – Abby Fisher\nPoached crab meat folded with crackers\, onions and celery and fried. Served with local tomato and Vermont Creamery cultured butter sauce. \nPlated Soup\n\nGumbo z Herbes – Leah Chase\nA medley of fresh green herbs and greens with savory spices and sausage.  \nFamily-Style Entrées\nShrimp Curry (GF) – Edna Lewis\nWild caught North Carolina shrimp in a coconut curry sauce. \nChicken Yassa (GF) – Jessica B Harris\nBraised chicken in a ginger and lemon sauce. \nFamily-Style Sides\nSweet Potato Salad (GF\,V) – Toni Tipton Martin \nDiced sweet potatoes dressed with a gingery\, orange-maple dressing.

SUMMARY:Special Event: Charles Eisendrath Book Talk
DESCRIPTION:A Night of Stories\, Syrup\, and Small Bites\nTuesday\, May 20th at 6:00 pm | $45-$65 per person\nJoin us for a special evening featuring Michigan author Charles Eisendrath and his newly released memoir\, Downstream from Here: A Foreign Correspondent Discovers Home. \nEisendrath had multiple international assignments for Time magazine as a foreign correspondent and journalist before joining the faculty at the University of Michigan. Shortly thereafter\, he and his wife Julia took over his parents’ 146-acre property\, Overlook Farm\, in Northern Michigan. Splitting time between Ann Arbor and East Jordan\, they worked to restore the land\, planting tart cherry trees and adding maple syrup production\, called Lake Charlevoix Maple™ because theirs is the last working farm on those waters. Eisendrath is also the inventor of an Argentine-style\, open-fire\, wood-burning grill (James Beard called it “Magnificent.”).  \nEisendrath’s life story is filled with adventures seemingly suited for the silver screen\, but Downstream from Here mesmerizes with the seemingly smaller tales of exploring and updating Overlook Farm—and learning about himself in the process. Actor Jeff Daniels says\,  \nWritten with the eye of a journalist\, the prose of a novelist\, and the wit of a humorist\, Downstream from Here takes you on a long walk down the path that leads to a life truly lived. Prepare to be inspired. \nWe think you’ll agree\, an evening with Charles can only go upstream! He’ll be talking about his book\, his farm\, and of course\, the syrup that has become a part of his family’s tradition. (We’ll have jars of this local treasure available for sale\, so you can take a sweet reminder of the evening home with you!) \nTo make the night even tastier\, Chef Bob has crafted a delicious spread of appetizers featuring that very syrup—get ready for maple fried mushroom and grits shooters\, maple pecans and cream cheese crostini\, and maple smoked chicken wings with Alabama BBQ sauce. But that’s not all— the Roadhouse is offering a selection of wine and beer to be included with your ticket! \nThis is a one-of-a-kind event you won’t want to miss. It’s a chance to savor fabulous food\, and a deeper connection to the land\, the people\, and the stories that make Michigan so special. Join us for a special evening celebrating food\, books\, and the sweet things in life. \nWe would like to thank the University of Michigan’s Wallace House Center for Journalists for their sponsorship of this event! Seats are limited\, so be sure to reserve yours soon. We look forward to sharing an unforgettable night with you! \nMenu\nRoadhouse selection of our favorite beer and wine pours! \nMaple Fried Mushroom & Grits Shooters\nMaple Pecans & Creamery Cream Cheese Crostini\nMaple Smoked Chicken Wings with Alabama BBQ Sauce

SUMMARY:Special Event: Earth Day Sustainability Dinner
DESCRIPTION:A Farm to Table Experience with Tantré Farm\nApril 22nd\, 2025 | 6:30pm\nSourcing our food locally is one of our favorite ways to be more sustainable. So we’re celebrating Earth Day with a special dinner featuring sensational seasonal ingredients from local farmers who are thoughtful stewards of their land and animals—like Richard Andres and Deb Lentz\, co-owners of Tantré Farm and our special guests for the evening! This dinner will also help raise funds for the efforts of the Legacy Land Conservancy\, who work with individuals\, landowners\, organizations\, and government entities to protect southern Michigan’s land and water. We love supporting organizations who share our sustainability values like Tantré and the Legacy Land Conservancy. \nThis Earth Day Dinner celebrates our commitment to our community and the planet\, while we savor an unforgettable meal showcasing the best of what the Michigan Spring season has to offer. We will honor Mother Earth in a down-home\, decidedly delicious\, sustainable way as our very own Chef Bob cooks up a selection of full-flavored dishes. We will also enjoy hearing Richard and Deb share their story with us\, as they talk about some of the ways they are committed to sustainable practices with their beloved farm. \nThis dinner is a one-night-only event\, but our dedication to sustainability is a daily deal—you might say we celebrate Earth Day every day. You won’t want to miss this special evening filled with good food\, great folks\, and a whole lotta love for the land. Join us as we savor locally grown food and help support sustainability efforts in southeastern Michigan! \nPLATED MENU\nAppetizers\nRadishes & Butter (V\, GF)\nLocal daikon radish from Tantré Farm\, lightly toasted served with Vermont Creamery cultured butter.\n \nSustainability note from Chef Bob:\n“Radishes are a starter vegetable that kicks off Michigan’s spring season. They are quick to grow\, and they set up the soil for the next planting and they are delicious.” \nSoup\nVegetable Soup (V)\nSavor the bounty of spring in a rich vegetable broth with radish\, spinach\, and onions from Tantré Farm. Garnished with fresh greens from Garden Fort.\n \nSustainability note from Chef Bob:\n“Soup is one of those things where it takes a little to feed a lot. It is also a vessel for using all the pieces of vegetables from the peels to the green tops\, and everything else in between.” \nChoice of Entrée\nMichigan Spring Jumble (V)\nLocal vegetables from Tantré Farm and Anson Mills’ farro piccolo\, tossed in a spinach pesto with roasted cherry tomato jam.\n \nSustainability note from Chef Bob:\n“We always look for ways to roast\, preserve\, or freeze the harvest instead of throwing food away. In this case\, we’re able to savor the flavor of summer tomatoes because we turned a bounty of them into a sweet jammy spread.”\n \nSkirt Steak Roulade \nPasture-raised skirt steak\, rubbed with herbs and spices\, and then rolled. Grilled over oak and sliced. Served with herbed cellar vegetable purée.\n \nSustainability note from Chef Bob:\n“Beef isn’t always thought of as a sustainable choice. We believe that when raised in the right way—treated humanely\, pasture-raised\, and processed locally with respect to the whole animal—that it can still taste great while also leaving a much smaller carbon footprint.” \nDessert\n\nMichigan Fruit & Gelato (V\, GF)\nFeaturing locally grown fruit from Michigan Farm to Freezer in Detroit\, served with Zingerman’s Creamery vanilla gelato.\n \nSustainability note from Chef Bob:\n“Michigan fruit season is an awesome\, yet typically short time for us. The fresh berries\, peaches\, and watermelons that fill our markets from June until late August might otherwise quickly fade away\, but thanks to the work of flash freezing our Michigan fruit\, we can enjoy it at our tables throughout the year!”

SUMMARY:Special Book Event: A Whole Life in Twelve Movies
DESCRIPTION:An evening with Irish storyteller\, Gareth Higgins\nWednesday\, March 5th\nDoors open at 6pm\, presentation starts at 6:30pm\nLove books AND movies? Join us on Wednesday\, March 5th at the Roadhouse as we welcome back our favorite Irish storyteller and peace activist\, Gareth Higgins\, to talk about his new book collaboration\, A Whole Life in Twelve Movies: A Cinematic Journey to a Deeper Spirituality. \nCo-written with American poet and author Kathleen Norris\, this book captivates readers as they discuss acclaimed movies that can help us better understand our lives–from before birth to death and beyond. Featuring 12 films\, including 2001: A Space Odyssey\, Malcolm X\, and Babette’s Feast\, this book is perfect for individuals or groups to watch and discuss movies over the course of a year. Each chapter recommends additional films and includes discussion questions ideally suited for spiritual gatherings\, small groups\, and book clubs. \n\nAs readers watch and read\, they will journey through the human life cycle and explore themes of existence\, goodness\, belonging\, vocation\, identity\, success\, generosity\, dealing with conflict\, and what it means to be human. The book outlines a cinematic path toward a deeper spirituality and a more meaningful life for people across the faith spectrum and seekers alike. James Martin\, SJ\, American Jesuit priest\, writer\, and editor-at-large of America magazine\, has written the foreword and says this: \n\n“Reading this beautiful book is like having an endlessly fascinating conversation with two friends about film\, when those two friends are always wise\, thoughtful\, and funny and have inspiring things to say about the movies they love. . . . For me\, the first thing I want to do after watching a powerful film is see what others have to say about it. At heart\, it’s a desire for conversation\, for learning\, and for being challenged. This book is an answer to those common desires.”\n\nJoin us for a conversation about this unique literary and cinematic adventure – and the power of storytelling to change our lives – with Gareth in person at the Roadhouse! We will provide the theater snacks\, along with copies of the book for purchase and autograph! \nMore about Gareth Higgins\nGareth Higgins was born in Belfast in 1975\, grew up during the Northern Ireland Troubles\, and now splits his time between his homeland and his new home in North Carolina. He writes and speaks about the power of storytelling to shape our lives and world\, peace and making justice\, and how to take life seriously without believing your own propaganda. He has been involved in peace-building and violence reduction in Northern Ireland and helping to address the legacy of conflict. He received a Ph.D. in Sociology from Queen’s University Belfast and helped teach the world’s first graduate course in Reconciliation Studies at Trinity College Dublin. He also helped found the Wild Goose\, New Story\, and Movies & Meaning festivals. Gareth leads retreats in North America and Ireland and founded The Porch Magazine. \nMENU\n-Popcorn (GF\, V)\nWith Vermont Creamery cultured butter\n-Zingerman’s Bakehouse Pretzels (V)\nWith beer cheese\n-Pigs in Biscuits

Of Michael’s poetry Ari says\,  \n“I can say with confidence that Michael’s commitment to craft and intuitive inspiration shine through in every one of his poems I’ve read.”\n\nWhile we will primarily hear about Michael’s most recent book of poems\, Pacific Power & Light (Knopf\, 2024)\, he has published four other books of poetry\, including Flies (Copper Canyon\, 2011)\, which won the James Laughlin Award from the Academy of American Poets. His many grants\, fellowships\, and residencies include honors from organizations such as the Michener Center for Writers\, the Vermont Studio Center\, the Fine Arts Work Center\, and the Lannan Foundation. He was awarded the Hodder Fellowship from Princeton University for 2009-2010. In addition to writing\, Dickman appeared in the 2002 film Minority Report with his twin brother\, poet Matthew Dickman\, and he is currently a professor of poetry at Princeton University.\n\nBooklist describes Michael’s poetry as\, \n\n“A kaleidoscope of images surfacing for air out of our commercialized landscape. This acute poet’s sharp\, spare lines bring forward otherwise-missed moments in our common experiences…” \nWe are counting down the days until we get to meet Michael Dickman in person here at the Roadhouse! Make sure to secure your seat before we sell out for this highly anticipated event! Delicious snacks will be included\, and we will have copies of Pacific Power & Light for purchase and autograph. \nMENU\nFried Pierogi (V)\nWith lemon and chive sauce. \nBBQ Meatballs\nPimento Cheese Canapes (V)

SUMMARY:Special Book Event: “Life Lessons from Being a Line Cook”
DESCRIPTION:A Cookin’ Conversation with Ari about his Cool New Chapbook\nTuesday\, January 14th\nDoors open at 6pm\, presentation starts at 6:30pm\nForty-six years ago\, in the autumn of 1978\, Zingerman’s  co-founder Ari Weinzweig worked his first tentative shifts training as a line cook at a local Ann Arbor restaurant. With a newly-earned Russian history degree from the University of Michigan\, Ari’s intention was mostly just to make enough money to pay rent so he wouldn’t have to move back home to Chicago. Restaurant work\, he figured\, would help tide him over while he sorted out what he wanted to do with his life. Little did Ari know that what seemed like a short-term sideline would\, over the course of many years\, lead him to a hard-earned life philosophy\, which is now the subject of his new release: “Life Lessons I Learned from Being a Line Cook.” \nFor Ari\, cooking on the line became about much more than feeding people; it taught him about building connections and discovering purpose\, and led to a philosophy that has guided him in work and life over the past four decades co-leading the Zingerman’s Community of Businesses. “Life Lessons I Learned from Being a Line Cook” is a small 52-page\, hand-sewn chapbook that distills 18 key lessons from Ari’s early days as a line cook. In its pages\, readers will discover conceptual gems including a deep understanding of how simple tasks transform into meaningful\, paradigm-shifting work. They will also gain practical insights on how anyone can cultivate their own life lessons\, embrace more day-to-day purpose\, and spark a deep understanding in their own areas of expertise. \nOf the new chapbook\, Ari offers\, \nWhat began with learning how to flip burgers turned\, slowly but surely\, into a life philosophy. Line cooking opened the door for me to settle into a set of beliefs\, values\, and worldviews that underlie everything I’ve written and done in leadership work over the years. \nWorld renowned pizza maker and chef-owner of Pizzeria Bianco in Phoenix\, Chris Bianco\, offers this about the new publication:  \nOur life experiences are a well of wisdom\, and in this new chapbook\, Ari brings buckets of both. He’s been there\, done it\, and luckily for all of us\, is still doin’ it and sharing it for the next generation! \nOn Tuesday\, January 14th\, we invite you to join us at the Roadhouse to hear Ari talk about his new chapbook\, a concentrated in-an-espresso-shot-sort-of-way effort to share over four decades of experience and learning. Ari hopes that this quick read will be an insightful inspiration for people working in pretty much any walk of life\, from those in search of a positive path\, to those who are already well along on their own. You don’t have to work in a kitchen to enjoy this scintillating conversation with Ari\, and if you love food\, Chef Bob will be cooking up some of your favorite appetizers to nosh on! See you there! \nMENU:\n-Mancini pasta tossed with Vermont Creamery Cultured Butter and Basil (V) \n-Barrel-Aged Greek feta cheese dressed with Seka Hills extra virgin olive oil (V) \n-Winter Citrus Salad (V)

SUMMARY:Book Event: A New Release from Local Author Aaron Dworkin
DESCRIPTION:Lessons in Gratitude: A Memoir on Race\, the Arts\, and Mental Health\nTuesday\, Oct. 8\, 6:00pm   $45\n\nThe Roadhouse is honored to welcome back local author Aaron Dworkin to celebrate the release of his latest work\, Lessons in Gratitude: A Memoir on Race\, the Arts\, and Mental Health\, on Tuesday October 8th. Join us as Aaron\, a MacArthur Fellow\, social entrepreneur\, UofM professor\, multimedia artist\, and poetjournalist\, dives into his story about how he has dedicated his life’s work to changing the face of classical arts in the world. The themes of persistence\, passion\, and loyalty shine through stories of a lifelong search for identity and the obstacles of race\, culture\, and class. Readers will learn how the author greets these challenges and how they drove him to make a difference for people who are shut out of opportunity. Persistence in the face of multiple obstacles ultimately led Dworkin to create the Sphinx Organization\, whose mission is to transform lives through the power of diversity in the arts. \n\nOf Lessons in Gratitude\, Lara Downes\, host of NPR’s Amplify and a Billboard Chart–topping recording artist\, says: \n“An open\, honest\, and compassionate account of a singular life in which music\, art\, community\, and humanity are inextricably connected. Aaron Dworkin’s story is proof positive of the immense power of the arts to change the world for the better\, in ways both big and small\, immediate and long-lasting.” \nLessons in Gratitude is a coming-of-age story that examines the difficulties of biracial identity across generations and the challenges that mixed-race families still face today. On October 8th\, Aaron will open up about how he has overcome these challenges as he explores his latest compelling work\, and we would love for you to hear what he has to say in person. We will enjoy delicious Roadhouse snacks\, but bring an appetite for a transformative experience with Aaron Dworkin! \nAppetizer Menu\nSouthwest Vegetable Soup Shooters (Vegan)\nRoadhouse Fried Chicken Sliders\nPimento Cheese Canapes (V)

SUMMARY:Book Event: Making Art In Prison: Survival And Resistance
DESCRIPTION:With UofM Professor\, Artist\, & Author\, Janie Paul\nJust in time for our Ann Arbor’s annual Art Fair\, the Roadhouse is excited to welcome Janie Paul to talk about her sensational book\, Making Art in Prison: Survival and Resistance\, on Tuesday July 16th. We invite you to what will be an incredible evening as we hear her talk about the years she spent talking to incarcerated people and share their profound stories. \nOver two million people in the United States are locked behind bars\, where they endure the degradation and violence of a dehumanizing system. But in prisons around the country\, incarcerated people have regained their dignity by creating objects of beauty\, meaning\, and value. In Making Art in Prison: Survival and Resistance\, Janie Paul introduces readers to the culture and aesthetics of prison art communities\, and shares heart wrenching\, poignant\, and often surprisingly humorous artists’ narratives. These powerful stories and images upend the manufactured stereotypes of those living in prison\, imparting a real human dimension. \nA lifetime artist herself\, Janie Paul moved to Ann Arbor in 1995 to teach at the University of Michigan School of Art & Design. In 1996\, she co-founded The Annual Exhibitions of Artists in Michigan Prisons\, an initiative of the Prison Creative Arts Project at the University of Michigan\, and for the past 27 years\, has traveled throughout Michigan to meet artists and select work for the project. The project has provided crucial validation for the artists. Making Art in Prison features over 200 images of their extraordinary work. \nMaking Art in Prison reveals—through the eyes of the artists who have lived through it—what mass incarceration looks and feels like in the United States. It reveals the ways in which they keep their humanity intact\, and invites us to reflect on our own humanity. It also invites us to look closely at the images and appreciate the richness of life and luminosity emerging from the darkest corner of our country. Please join us on July 16th to dive into this extraordinary work with Janie Paul\, enjoy delicious appetizers\, and connect over art before the launch of Ann Arbor’s Art Fair 2024! \nAppetizer Menu\nSweet Potato Fries (V)\n\nMini North Carolina Shrimp Burgers\n\nTrio of Bruschetta (V)\n\nRoasted Red Pepper\nWith Creamery Cream Cheese\nRoasted Mushroom\nWith Creamery Goat Cheese\nPesto\nWith SarVecchio Parmesan Cheese

SUMMARY:Special Dinner: Spaghetti Western
DESCRIPTION:Special Dinner: Spaghetti Western\nwith Rolando Beramendi of Manicaretti Imports\nTuesday\, June 13\, from 7pm to 9pm\n$90 – $125\nHowdy! We are so excited to welcome a long-time friend of Zingerman’s\, Rolando Beramendi\, to the tastiest duel this side of Jackson Ave. He is a cookbook author and founder of Manicaretti Imports\, an importer and wholesaler of artisanal Italian products. We have used Rolando’s products from Manicaretti for many years. Not only will Rolando make an appearance at the Roadhouse on June 13th\, he will also have events with Zingerman’s Bakehouse that week. Stay tuned for other potential food sparrings around the ZCoB! \nRolando’s artisanal pantry items from Manicaretti\, including a variety of heirloom spaghetti from Rustichella d’Abruzzo\, are the stars in this showdown of a dinner. Chef Bob Bennett loves the flavor and texture of the Rustichella d’Abruzzo pasta\, and often features it on the Roadhouse menu. For this dinner\, he will corral rustic\, authentic flavors for each spaghetti dish with Rolando’s favorite Italian products\, such as Mirogallo Spaccatelle Tomatoes and IASA hand-packed anchovies. Attendees can expect to take a wild ride as Rolando shares his stories behind the value of these delicious\, simple ingredients as they taste them in each course. \nDuring this special event\, we will also have for sale Rolando’s book\, Autentico\, which has blazed a trail of what it means to make and eat an authentic Italian meal. Rolando’s philosophy of “if you have a great pantry\, you can be a great cook\,” echoes on the pages of Autentico. Paired with dinner\, the dessert offered on our event’s menu is a recipe from Autentico. A fun tidbit to note is that the pasta and several of the authentic\, Italian ingredients that are featured on the special dinner menu from Manicaretti\, will be available for purchase as well. \nMore About Rolando Beramendi\nRolando Beramendi’s passion for bringing authentic Italian ingredients to American pantries began when he moved to San Francisco and experienced difficulty finding high quality Italian food products. In 1988\, Beramendi founded Manicaretti\, which is the Italian word for little delicacies or treats\, to import products from Italy’s finest artisan producers to the plains of America. The foundation of Manicaretti was built through family\, friends\, and word of mouth. Through the gems that were discovered across treks and journeys of travel to keep centuries of old traditions alive\, you can be sure that any Manicaretti product that lands on your kitchen table\, is one of authentic and pure Italian authenticity. Rolando stays true to the traditions taught to him by artisan food makers and chefs who have been an integral part of his extended Italian family. It is an honor to welcome our long time Italian friend at this special dinner. \nGallop on over to this special dinner for a night of authentic\, Italian cuisine that will for sure be the talk of the town! \nSpecial Dinner Menu\nStuzzichini (Plated Appetizer)\nCrostini con Burro e Alici\nCrostini with anchovies and butter. \nDueling Pasta Primi (Family Style Entrée)\nPrimo Grano Spaghettoni Carbonara\nRustichella d’Abruzzo thick spaghetti made from white heirloom durum wheat.

SUMMARY:Special Book Event: The Seventh Story with Irish Storyteller & Author\, Gareth Higgins
DESCRIPTION:How Storytelling Helps Us Find Peace\, Safety\, and Belonging – and Tame Some Monsters Too?\nTuesday\, December 5th 6:00pm\n$40\nWe’re delighted to welcome beloved Irish storyteller and peace activist Gareth Higgins to the Roadhouse for a special evening of appetizers and conversation! Zingerman’s Co-Founder Ari Weinzweig and the Roadhouse team welcomes you to hear Gareth talk about the history of oppressive storytelling\, and how we can create connection\, courage\, and community in the spirit of a better story. It will be the perfect occasion to celebrate the release of his new children’s book\, Cory and the Seventh Story — a story that offers something meaningful to people of all ages. \nEach of us has experienced stories of fear\, filled with monsters lurking around the next corner\, and many of us feel unsure about what to do in response. In 2019\, Gareth co-authored a book of essays with Brian D. Mclaren called The Seventh Story: Us\, Them\, & the End of Violence.The book explains how throughout human history\, there have been six types of stories that teach us to dominate\, violently oppress\, or withdraw from the world and the people in it. The Seventh Story instead teaches us to face our issues of fear\, aggression\, and violence with love and openheartedness.\n \nAri Weinzweig shares how The Seventh Story has changed the way he sees and understands the world\, saying: \nGareth’s stories and perspectives have inspired me in a hundred different ways. His sense of story\, his explorations of how we can turn antipathy into love\, war into peace\, and negative drama into dignity hold keys we can all use to open the door to the positive futures we all seek. \nGareth has already co-created a profound and inspirational narrative with A Seventh Story\, but he has taken it to an elevated level with the publication of a new book Cory and the Seventh Story — a beautifully illustrated children’s book written by Gareth and Brian that shows us all how to move forward in a world that can be scary to kids and adults alike. Readers will fall in love with a tale filled with endearing woodland characters\, who teach us how we can respond to fear with love\, peace\, and community. With this latest work\, Gareth shows us how he wants to help create a more hopeful\, safer\, and more compassionate world\, and help others co-create it too: \nPart of that includes claiming the truth that there are not monsters around most corners\, most of the time; and that living into stories that empower us to understand how the world actually is\, to bring our gifts to the table\, and discover how to ask for our needs to be better met will help us when there are monsters\, and actually reduce the power and presence of the monsters in the first place. \nHaving faced (and continuing to face) his own monsters\, Gareth’s work has been forged in genuine suffering\, conflict\, and trauma — both as an individual and in the society in which he was born and raised. While what he is bringing us is not a panacea or quick fix for the scary issues we all face\, he offers us purposeful solutions deeply rooted in the history of transformative storytelling\, authentic spirituality\, and courageous creativity for the common good. \nCory and the Seventh Story is newly published as of October 17th\, 2023\, and will be available for purchase at this very special book event\, along with Gareth’s previous works\, The Seventh Story and How Not to be Afraid. We can’t wait to hear Gareth dive into the book and tell the seventh story in his own words. Join us as we explore together how humans\, both grown and not so grown\, can\, as Ari Weinzweig suggests\, “make the planet on which we live and work a more peaceful and positive place to be.” Doors open at 5:30pm for cocktails and mingling\, then the program will start at 6pm. You will head home satisfied from a bountiful appetizer spread and a new story to inspire you and yours. \nMore About Author Gareth Higgins\nGareth Higgins was born in Belfast in 1975\, grew up during the Northern Ireland Troubles\, and now splits his time between his homeland and his new home in North Carolina. He writes and speaks about the power of storytelling to shape our lives and world\, peace and making justice\, and how to take life seriously without believing your own propaganda. He has been involved in peace-building and violence reduction in Northern Ireland and helping to address the legacy of conflict. He received a Ph.D. in Sociology from Queen’s University Belfast and helped teach the world’s first graduate course in Reconciliation Studies at Trinity College Dublin. He also helped found the Wild Goose\, New Story\, and Movies & Meaning festivals. Gareth leads retreats in North America and Ireland and founded The Porch Magazine. \n

Featured heavily on our breakfast menu\, Nueske’s bacon is also a favorite on our pasture-raised beef burgers\, in our award-winning mac and cheese\, and is integral to our braised greens. \n\nFor this event\, Chef Bob has created an incredible five course dinner showcasing just how good Nueske’s smoked bacon is in a variety of ways. We will taste an incredible fusion of artisanal flavors with bacon sausage\, kale and bacon salad\, chicken with bacon gravy\, whitefish with bacon jam\, and so much more.

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT: Special Book Event: Zingerman's Roadhouse Presents Laura Tillman & Lyndsay C. Green
DESCRIPTION:Zingerman’s Roadhouse is pleased to partner with Literati Bookstore for a one-of-a kind event\, as Laura Tillman discusses her acclaimed book The Migrant Chef: The Life and Times of Lalo García with Lyndsay C. Green of the Detroit Free Press. The event will be held at the Literati Bookstore in Ann Arbor. \nTickets for the special event are $40 and include courses prepared by Chef Bob Bennett and inspired by The Migrant Chef. Also included are Roadhouse mocktails\, as well as $10 off the book if purchased on-site at Literati Bookstore. Craft cocktails will be available for purchase\, featuring Anteel Tequila from Detroit. \n\nDo not miss this unforgettable evening of delicious food and fulfilling conversation with a talented author and a James Beard award-winning journalist. Tickets are limited! \nA book signing will follow the program. \nAbout the book: Born in rural Mexico\, Eduardo “Lalo” García Guzmán and his family left for the United States when he was a child\, picking fruits and vegetables on the migrant route from Florida to Michigan. He worked in Atlanta restaurants as a teenager before being convicted of a robbery\, incarcerated\, and eventually deported. Lalo landed in Mexico City as a new generation of chefs was questioning the hierarchies that had historically privileged European cuisine in elite spaces. At his acclaimed restaurant\, Máximo Bistrot\, he began to craft food that narrated his memories and hopes. \nMexico City-based journalist Laura Tillman spent five years immersively reporting on Lalo’s story: from Máximo’s kitchen to the onion fields of Vidalia\, Georgia\, to Dubai’s first high-end Mexican restaurant\, to Lalo’s hometown of San José de las Pilas. What emerges is a moving portrait of Lalo’s struggle to find authenticity in an industry built on the very inequalities that drove his family to leave their home\, and of the artistic process as Lalo calls on the experiences of his life to create transcendent cuisine. The Migrant Chef offers an unforgettable window into a family’s border-eclipsing dreams\, Mexico’s culinary heritage\, and the making of a chef. \nLaura Tillman is a journalist and the author of The Migrant Chef and The Long Shadow of Small Ghosts. She began her career as a newspaper reporter at the U.S.-Mexico border in 2007\, before moving to Mexico City in 2014. Her reporting\, which focuses primarily on migration\, justice\, and food\, has appeared in the New York Times\, the Los Angeles Times\, and the Nation. She graduated from Vassar College with a degree in international studies and Goucher College with an MFA in nonfiction writing\, where she is currently a member of the faculty. She lives in Mexico City with her family. \nLyndsay C. Green is the James Beard award-winning and Pulitzer finalist dining and restaurant critic at the Detroit Free Press\, where she reviews Detroit-area restaurants\, and shines a light on local food businesses.\n\nMenu \nBlack Bean Sopes \nCorn sopes topped with Camellia black beans & Cotija cheese. \nGazpacho\nShots of chilled tomato and cucumber soup. \nChips & Green Tomato Salsa \nAnn Arbor Tortilla Company chips with green tomato and jalapeño salsa. \nEvent address:  \n124 E.
