"Community Supported Agriculture started more than a decade ago as a grassroots movement to eat locally. Today the movement continues to grow to serve consumers across the metro area."

It's meat bracket time!

My new favorite "food dude" Owen Morris, from the Pitch, posted this "choice" article about meat brackets. Meat vs. Meat. Everyone wins.

So Good blog has "Meat Madness".

ESPN and New York Times contributor Paul Lukas revealed his 64-meat match-up.

Lukas' bracket is here. His final four is whack! Bratwust and hotdogs beat out salami and italian sausage? I don't think so pal. And WTF Is a chicken tail?

I love these quotes from his article.

"Sorry fancy pants, but the filet is like the Knicks -- mushy and expensive."

"If you don't like sausage then you probably don't like America or freedom either."

"... and on the eighth day, God created salami."

Great job Owen.

Cured meats.... I love you.

This place is just insane. I'll take two of everything. It's run by Mario Batali's folks and they don't mess around when it comes to curing the meat. Why can't someone open a place like this in KC?

Michael Pollan Wants Your Food Rules

"Writer Michael Pollan, author of the best-seller “In Defense of Food,” has gained a passionate following by encouraging us to change the way we think about food. But for his next project, he wants your help."

I like this food rule, “Don’t eat at any restaurant of which there is more than just one” .

Stay away Ray.

I guess our 3 local Chefs that are up for James Beard Awards couldn't catch Rachel's eye.

I really dig this Leftover section in the pitch. Congratulations Owen Morris.

Bacon Explosion guys now exploding with cash

It's good to see some local fellers doing so well. They owe it all to bacon. Someday I want to be like, "I owe it all to bacon."

Here is their website.
