The Best and The Local
Ira Glass brings us a review of Lula Cafe, one of "the best restaurants in town according to Reader Restaurant Raters," in "The Food Issue" (this week's Chicago Reader). The issue also includes a nice list of "subscription farms," some being regulars at our farmers markets, such as Green City Market which opens May 16. I can't wait.
If you want to help produce the food you eat, non-profit Growing Power - the organization behind the vegetable garden in Grant Park - is offering a "commercial urban agriculture training program" for those serious to farm commercially within the city. It sounds pretty incredible, but I'm going to stay on the cooking and eating side.
