Sustainable food sources took center stage at a chefs collaborative event over the weekend out in Chicago. Rick “i’m the mexican man” bayless rocked out the mic with hard-hitting talk about sustainability in the food industry. Ok, his talk wasn’t so hard-hitting (I mean, come on, you’ve seen the guy), but he had some great points about sustainable food sources and the progress that needs to be made in order to make this the way that Americans can eat.
As I’ve been saying, locally produced small-scale farming is the wave of the future– everyone has pointed to indepdendent business as the only way to get the economy jump-started again. What better industry that the one that can jump-start the workers, too?
Anyway, check out this article, and hit the greenmarket this week. BB can’t go this week, because of the UN General Assembly.
By the way, I did some serious eating this weekend, and as uberchef mentioned in his post, I’ve got more damage to do tonight. Next up, fried chicken!
Agree, he seems a bit too soft-spoken to imagine “rocking the mic”. Fried Chicken … mmmmmmmmm (think Homer Simpson), hopefully much better than the fried tofu nuggets I got today – yuk!
