Kombucha Party Plans Chicago Confab
Following a spate of denigrating articles in national publications, a group of food-policy advocates, chefs and urban foragers are gathering in Chicago at the end of the month as The Kombucha Party. The name, taken from the fermented and functional tea, is a playful nod at the burgeoning Tea Party, named after a nonfunctional beverage produced in factories (and an ocean-polluting historic event). Kombucha Party spokesman, a local urban farmer known as Mr. McGregor, says they're fed up with big-government food policies and the mainstream media's bashing of schoolyard farms, canning and other practices meant to conserve resources and improve public health. Mr. McGregor is hoping to lure Alice Waters and Michael Pollen to the meeting, but says whether or not they show up, attendees can definitely count on his famous, slow-food rabbit pie. More information about the meeting can be found here.
