Description:
Join us at Toronto's LGBTQ+ bar the Three Dollar Bill. We will be discussing our book Queers at the Table. Book contributors Aino Philak, Tobi Abdul, and Danielle Kydd will join editors Alex D. Ketchum and Megan J. Elias to discuss queer food. Eat Out Supper Club will cater a beautiful meal, literally bringing us all to the table.
Entrance to the bar is free, but you need to register and pre-pay in advance for the meal if you want to eat. Drinks with and without alcohol will be available all night at the bar.
On March 10, 2026 at 6 PM ET, join us for a hybrid workshop. Taking place at the SKOL Centre (and online), we will discuss how to create and publish your work. We will focus specifically on publications related to queer food, but the strategies discussed will be applicable more broadly.
On March 17, 2026, join us as we discuss queer food access. This event is a collaboration between Right to Food's Indigenous Network and Queers at the Table contributors including Sal Dhalla, Danielle Rousseau, and editors Alex D. Ketchum and Megan J. Elias.
Special guests include Queers at the Table contributors Chris Keeve, K Greene, Taylor Hartson, and farmer Jenna Jacobs of La Ferme aux Champs qui Chantent.
