Restaurants Some notes
Posted by Cliff Bostock @cliffbostock on Mon, Apr 27, 2009 at 3:24 AM
Cheese find: Whole Foods on Ponce de Leon was selling Parrano for only $9.49 a pound today. That's less than half what I've seen it usually priced around town. It's great with the organic Fuji apples, my obsession, that are on sale at Kroger for $1.69 a pound....
Are you a hyperlocavore? Of course you are. Check out this great site....
Nick Setty writes to recommend the new Cuban Diner in Marietta. It's getting positive reviews on Yelp....
For Women: Chef Asata Reid seems to be here, there and everywhere. She was recently featured in the Emory University student newspaper. Check out her website. She will be conducting two classes at Sevananda Natural Foods Market in Little Five Points: "Natural Foods 101" on May 6, 12 noon-2 p.m. and "Celebrate Women's Wellness" on May 9, 10 a.m.-12 noon. Cost is $10 or Sevananda members and $12 for non-members. She's also conducting classses through Spicy Wifey....
"Can we afford to eat ethically?" asks Salon.com. Writer Siobhan Phillips establishes her task:
So last year, when global food prices began to soar, I devised an experiment: My husband and I would eat conscientiously for a month, not just on our regular grocery allotment but on the government-defined, food-stamp minimum: $248 for two people in our hometown of New Haven, Conn. We would choose the SOLE-est products available -- that is, the sustainable, organic, local or ethical alternative. We would start from a bare pantry, shop only at places that took food stamps and could be reached on foot, and use only basic appliances. The test would mean some painful changes; gone was my husband's customary breakfast of Honey Nut Cheerios and our favorite dinner of pepperoni pizza. But it would answer that nagging question: When shopping for food, did I have to choose between my budget and my beliefs?...
Sex and McDonald's: I recently wrote a post about two Domino's employees who posted a YouTube video of themselves having unsanitary fun with a sandwich one of them was making. While looking for background information about it, I found an incredible story about a video of the sexual assault of an 18-year-old McDonald's employee that was broadcast by ABC and is now on the Internet too. If you want to (see and) read about it, check out my personal blog, Sacred Disorder.
