Chef Spotlight #6: Nightingale Cinema

We recently sat down with Nightingale Cinema, a rough and ready microcinema in Noble Square, and learned some unusual facts about their chili. Read on:

In what ways does your chili recipe embody your organization?

Our chili’s main ingredient is flickering light.

What celebrity would you most like to share a bowl a chili with and why?

Agnes Varda, because she is hilarious and observant and has great hair and  I don’t see how else I am going to get to meet her.

Best film about chili?

Come to think of it, I have never seen one- not one! I have seen a couple of terrible movies with a character named Chili –GET SHORTY (1995) and  its truly unimaginable sequel –BE COOL (2005). I have seen some mediocre movies where being chilly is an important plot point- the not appetizing ALIVE (1993) and the not scary THE THING (1983) and luckily, I have seen a ton of great movies from Chile- most recently the masterfully-crafted and politically inspiring NO (2012). They will all probably inspire our chili recipe.

Do you have any words of warning to your competitors?

Watch out, this chili is sculptural.
