Not All Industrial Food Is Evil

By MARK BITTMAN

I’VE long wondered how producing a decent ingredient, one that you can buy in any supermarket, really happens. Take canned tomatoes, of which I probably use 100 pounds a year. It costs $2 to $3 a pound to buy hard, tasteless, “fresh” plum tomatoes, but only half that for almost two pounds of canned tomatoes that taste much better. How is that possible? more...

Slate: Sous-vide cooking is destined for ubiquity in home kitchens

Slate: Sous-vide cooking is destined for ubiquity in home kitchens

On the surface, this seems like a meaningless argument rightly confined to the astronomically priced margins of fine dining. However, underlying the chatter about beef cheeks and broccoli stems is a debate of immense importance about how we're going to cook, in our own kitchens, a decade from now and beyond.

Americans are, in other words, throwing out the equivalent of $165 billion in wasted food every year, according to a recent analysis by the Natural Resources Defense Council, a nonprofit environmental group. In fact, one study estimates, just 15% of wasted food would be enough to feed more than 25 million Americans every year. And one in six Americans currently lacks a secure supply of food, says Dana Gunders, an NRDC project scientist in San Francisco.

FWTX.com: Fred's Bait Shack at Clearfork Food Park

Clearfork Food Park, named for the area of the Trinity River it sits on, aims to cater to folks who utilize the trails. Features include a bike rack, water fountains, a dog watering station, ample parking and a covered pavilion that’s heated. But one of the park’s most unique features is its on-site full bar, an extension of Fred’s Texas Café called Fred’s Bait Shack. 

 “We were so happy to partner with Fred’s,” Carew said. “We’re hoping this will be not only a food park and Fred’s Bait Shack, but an artery for getting on and off the trail, so folks can use our parking to enjoy a bike ride or a run.”

Such training centers are increasingly common, and not just at cafes: there are certification classes for baristas and even Camp Pull A-Shot, a four-day, three-night event.
