Indie Lens Pop-Up, presented by ITVS, INDEPENDENT LENS, and the Auburn Public Library will host a special screening of “The Grocery List Show," followed by a Recipe Swap with fellow community members. “The Grocery List Show” is a five-part series that follows "Top Chef” contender Chrissy Camba to five bustling international grocery stores in America and the communities they serve.

Over five episodes, special guests and food enthusiasts join Chrissy to shop for ingredients and cook a favorite family recipe, as they celebrate global food traditions over a shared meal. Featured locations and cuisines include:

  • Seafood City in Chicago, a vibrant Filipino supermarket chain
  • Balady Market in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, a culturally rich Middle Eastern neighborhood
  • Labay Market, a beloved Caribbean grocery store located in the heart of Little Caribbean, Brooklyn
  • Piccolo’s Gastronomia Italiana in Ridgefield, New Jersey, a family-run Italian grocery store that has been a community staple since 1994
  • La Placita de Brooklyn, a neighborhood market serving the growing Latino community in Sunset Park, Brooklyn

After the screening, community members are invited to participate in a Recipe Swap! Bring copies of your favorite recipe(s) to swap with others and leave with a set of new recipes to try. Need help making copies of your recipes? Please visit the Reference Desk on the 2nd Floor. We will provide you with free copies of up to 3 different recipes for the event.
