Foodies of Beloit, rejoice! Now you can devour the opportunity to merge your equal loves within one space: movie magic and mouth-watering morsels.
For the first time ever, BIFF proudly introduces the “Food and a Flick” event – What better way to enjoy the opening of BIFF than to pair food with two feature films that are about the joys and tribulations of creating and discovering great food?
On the first night of the festival, Jan. 14 at 5 p.m., filmgoers can go to Bushel & Peck’s Friday Fish Fry to eat the esteemed fare of farm-to-table dinner while also savoring the funny, fishy tales of an intense cooking contest in the film “The Golden Scallop.”
If you are not a fish fancier, perhaps buffalo chicken wings can whet your appetite. Two screenings of “The Great Chicken Wing Hunt,” plates heaped with wings at Domenico’s or Bagels & More may tempt you instead.
These finger lickin’ wings will fly into your mouth as you follow the obsessive musings of a New York man, originally from Eastern Europe, who dedicates his life to find the world’s best buffalo chicken wings.
