Tickets for Pati Jinich Omnibus presentation available today at 1:30 p.m.

“An Evening with Pati Jinich” on March 20 will complete the 2024-25 season of the Omnibus Speaker Series at Purdue University Fort Wayne. Jinich is the host of PBS programs such as “Pati’s Mexican Table” and the award-winning docuseries “La Frontera.” Her public performance at Auer Performance Hall will start at 7:30 p.m. Free tickets may be reserved beginning today at 1:30 p.m.

Jinich, a native of Mexico City, has spent years focused on Mexican political institutions and relations at the border. She is a chef, author of three cookbooks with a fourth publishing soon, and has made it her life’s work to build understanding between her two countries.

Jinich is adept at bringing together her background in policy and her love of food. She has been named one of the Top 5 Border Ambassadors by the Council of the Americas, one of the 100 Greatest Cooks of All Time by Epicurious, a four-time James Beard Award winner for her television work, and is a resident chef at the Mexican Cultural Institute in Washington, D.C.

Tickets are free and available on a first-come, first-served basis through the Schatzlein Box Office or PFW’s online ticketing platform. A $1.50 convenience charge is assessed per ticket for online orders, with a limit of four tickets per person.  

For anyone wanting to get tickets to the show in person, box office hours are from 1:30 to 5:30 p.m., Tuesday-Friday. 

Reserved online tickets can be sent to patrons via text message or email. These digital options are helpful to avoid standing at the box office the night of the show. Tickets can also be picked up in person beginning one hour before the presentation.

The Omnibus Speaker Series at Purdue Fort Wayne is made possible in part due to the support of the English-Bonter-Mitchell Foundation, which has sponsored every season since the series launched in 1995.
