While there are some newsy tidbits about restaurants in the area, this week's On the Menu column is about Charlotte Zietlow, who recently died at age 91 .
Most people knew Zietlow for her work in the political realm, but she was interested in so much more, including food. That's how I first met her, when we were both judges for the annual Bloomington Chefs' Challenge. The challenge a fundraiser for Community Kitchen of Monroe County, which we both consider a worthy cause. The benefits of judging also meant you sampled cuisine from some of Bloomington's best chefs.
