A top chef may soon be causing the munchies even as she satisfies them. Prominent Chicago chef Mindy Segal announced Tuesday she plans to create a line of cannabis-infused edible products for medical marijuana patients.
Segal, the owner of Mindy's HotChocolate restaurant in Bucktown, has agreed to make a line of products for Cresco Labs, which plans to operate three cultivation centers in Illinois.
Cresco says Segal is the first James Beard Award-winning celebrity chef to agree to bake for the cannabis industry.
