May 15: Chris Eley, Owner of Goose the Market and Smoking Goose
Fresh off an appearance on Good Morning America as well as a James Beard Nomination, we welcome Chris Eley, owner of Goose the Market and Smoking Goose, to Rotary on Tuesday, May 15. Chris will talk food- after all, his Smoking Goose production facility is often lauded as one of the best butcher shops in the Midwest and ships his “meat treats” from coast to coast. Chris will also share his experience with the business of food and the challenges and opportunities that come with growing a business that features delicious, sustainable and widely-distributed products.
Chris is a native of Indianapolis and is dedicated to using traditional methods to cure meat from healthy animals raised by Midwest farmers. Chris trained and worked in Chicago, Rhode Island, Thailand and St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands before returning to Indy to be part of the growing food scene.
Our catered MBP lunch will feature products from the Smoking Goose, so be sure to come hungry on Tuesday.
