Foodie (+nerd) adventure: Who Glues Your Community Together through Food?
The Kitchen Sisters and NPR's Renee Montagne talking about food and Afganistan.
Veggie hot dog from Let's Be Frank and Kogi Korean BBQ tacos.
Tonight, I attended a community lecture at the California Endowment. Their Center for Health Communities hosted "Who Glues Your Community Together through Food?", a night of food, community and storytelling with The Kitchen Sisters. It was just experienced foodie+nerd bliss in listening to NPR's Kitchen Sisters talk with community activists who are passionate about accessing healthy food and community building through food. Oh yeah, FREE Kogi tacos and hot dogs by Let's Be Frank, and a guest appearance by NPR's Renee Montagne (Morning Edition) were added bonuses. I was geeking out just because of the hosts. Add in the fact that Kogi tacos were given out for free (and yes, they are really worth the hype). Top with the opportunity to meet like-minded folks who are passionate about urban planning, policy, public health and food. It was pure bliss in my book.
