"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

Bay Area; Taste This; Celebrity Chefs; seven of Jacques Pepin's TV series websites; and Joanne Weir's Cooking in the City. I initiated the majority of KQED Food's social media feeds and maintained them up until 2017. As far as content creation, photography is my passion and I also shoot video and write stories.

"bio": "My passion is exploring the connections between food, travel and culture. I am a regular contributor to AFAR, Edible East Bay Magazine, Oakland Magazine, Berkeleyside's NOSH and other publications. I usually take a route that's slightly off the beaten path, like \u003ca href=\"http://edibleeastbay.com/online-magazine/fall-harvest-2017/fun-with-food-insults/\">collecting food-related insults\u003c/a> around the world or \u003ca href=\"https://www.afar.com/magazine/what-i-learned-hawking-sweet-potatoes-with-a-street-vendor-in-taiwan?email=amindess%40aol.com&utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Doctors%20Without%20Borders&utm_term=Daily%20Wander%20Newsletter\">volunteering with a Sweet Potato Mama\u003c/a> (street food seller) in Tapei.\r\n\r\nCulture is the thread that ties together my several careers. I also work as a sign language interpreter, educator and author. My study of Deaf culture has taken me around the world, where I am always on a quest to find Deaf-owned restaurants. I love making connections between my different worlds, for example in this AFAR story where I share \u003ca href=\"https://www.afar.com/magazine/tips-from-a-sign-language-interpreter-for-overcoming-language-barriers\">tips for communicating across cultures\u003c/a> that I learned from the real experts, Deaf people. Or this \u003ca href=\"http://edibleeastbay.com/online-magazine/fall-harvest-2017/deaf-chefs-compete/\">profile of a Deaf chef and culinary arts instructor\u003c/a> at the California School for the Deaf.\r\n\r\nTo see my visual/edible take on the world, follow me on Instagram: \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/annamindess/\">annamindess. \u003c/a>\r\n\r\nFor more of my stories: visit Contently \u003ca href=\"http://annamindess.contently.com\">annamindess.contently.com\u003c/a>",

They can be traded at seed swaps, or saved and stored from year to year. They tend to be considered costlier for commercial farmers, as some may have smaller yields or can be too delicate for shipping.

Photo: Fred Hempel at Baia Nicchia.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By crossing two or more varieties of heirlooms, plant breeders, farmers and gardeners can search for their version of the perfect tomato. Fred Hempel, owner of \u003ca href=\"http://baianicchia.blogspot.com/\">Baia Nicchia\u003c/a>, is an organic farmer and plant breeder. He has been working with the company \u003ca href=\"http://www.seedsofchange.com/\">Seeds of Change\u003c/a> along with chefs around the San Francisco Bay area to develop varietals, like the \u003ca href=\"http://www.seedsofchange.com/garden_center/product_details.aspx?item_no=P137900\">Blush tomato\u003c/a>. He explained that these are not hybrids, but actually “heritage” tomatoes. “These have all of the traits one expects in an heirloom,“ said Fred Hempel said. “They are open pollinated, their offspring will be very similar to them, but they are not 50 years old.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, some tomatoes people commonly refer to as “heirloom” are also heritage, like the Green Zebra. This was developed by Tom Wagner of Everett Washington by crossing the genes of four different heirloom tomatoes. He introduced it in 1983, and so in spirit these might be heirlooms, but really, they are as he calls them, “Heritage.” The Indigo Rose, or blue tomato was recently bred by Jim Meyers and graduates students at Oregon State University. They crossed wild tomatoes with domestic ones and came up with blue-hued beauties that have the nutrients of regular tomatoes, along with \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthocyanin\">anthocyanins\u003c/a>, which also produce the healthy pigments in red wine and blueberries. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/10/4_squash_img_9364.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/10/4_squash_img_9364.jpg\" alt=\"Heirloom squash.

Photo: Marla Aufmuth\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Indigo Rose, Blush and Green Zebra were NOT genetically engineered; rather, they were created through classical plant breeding techniques, which often means crossing wild and domesticated plants for genetic diversity. This is important, as then this diversity allows for a greater range of adaptation, especially when climate change is an issue. This can take years of work, and lots of uncertainty, as growers are working with the perimeters of nature and can’t control which genes are precisely passed down to the offspring. So there may be a year of mishaps, feral cousins, and then honing in for generations on the perfect tomato. Currently, Blush, Indigo Rose and Green Zebra seeds are for sale, and can be grown by home gardeners. Over time, they may be introduced into the pantheon of heirlooms. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the tomatoes seen in grocery stores are hybrids, which means that they are genetically 50 percent each parent plant, one generation old, and though it’s possible to save the seeds and plant them, the offspring probably won’t taste as good. Many of these have been bred to look like a “perfect” tomato and have a long shelf life, but often lose flavor. The parents are often trade secrets, so farmers have to keep coming back and buying seeds. Since many have been bred for cosmetic purposes, how they taste is far less important. In fact, \u003ca href=\"http://news.sciencemag.org/sciencenow/2012/06/how-tomatoes-lost-their-taste.html\">a recent study in Science Magazine\u003c/a> explains that by breeding the dark green spots out of tomatoes, they in fact have less sugar and flavor. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But don’t confuse hybrids with genetically modifying a plant. Genetically engineering, or modifying means that breeders select specific traits that they want in a tomato, and insert the genes that will code those traits into the plant. The gene does not have to be from the same species. The original goal of these was to reduce diseases in crops and create greater output. This seemed like a great idea. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/10/5_heirlooms_Aufmuth.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/10/5_heirlooms_Aufmuth.jpg\" alt=\"Heirloom vegetables are prized for their uniqueness, rather than uniformity.

These countries also considered GMOs unfair to farmers and unsustainable. While genetically modified tomatoes did appear in 1994, they disappeared just four years later. Very few food items we might find in the produce department are genetically modified. The most common genetically modified crops are corn and soybeans and these are used in processed foods and fed to livestock on industrial farms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/10/6_heirlooms_Aumuth.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/10/6_heirlooms_Aumuth.jpg\" alt=\"Recent studies have shown that green parts on tomatoes increase their sweetness.

They crossed wild tomatoes with domestic ones and came up with blue-hued beauties that have the nutrients of regular tomatoes, along with \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthocyanin\">anthocyanins\u003c/a>, which also produce the healthy pigments in red wine and blueberries. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/10/4_squash_img_9364.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/10/4_squash_img_9364.jpg\" alt=\"Heirloom squash.

Photo: Marla Aufmuth\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Indigo Rose, Blush and Green Zebra were NOT genetically engineered; rather, they were created through classical plant breeding techniques, which often means crossing wild and domesticated plants for genetic diversity. This is important, as then this diversity allows for a greater range of adaptation, especially when climate change is an issue. This can take years of work, and lots of uncertainty, as growers are working with the perimeters of nature and can’t control which genes are precisely passed down to the offspring. So there may be a year of mishaps, feral cousins, and then honing in for generations on the perfect tomato. Currently, Blush, Indigo Rose and Green Zebra seeds are for sale, and can be grown by home gardeners. Over time, they may be introduced into the pantheon of heirlooms. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the tomatoes seen in grocery stores are hybrids, which means that they are genetically 50 percent each parent plant, one generation old, and though it’s possible to save the seeds and plant them, the offspring probably won’t taste as good. Many of these have been bred to look like a “perfect” tomato and have a long shelf life, but often lose flavor. The parents are often trade secrets, so farmers have to keep coming back and buying seeds. Since many have been bred for cosmetic purposes, how they taste is far less important. In fact, \u003ca href=\"http://news.sciencemag.org/sciencenow/2012/06/how-tomatoes-lost-their-taste.html\">a recent study in Science Magazine\u003c/a> explains that by breeding the dark green spots out of tomatoes, they in fact have less sugar and flavor. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But don’t confuse hybrids with genetically modifying a plant. Genetically engineering, or modifying means that breeders select specific traits that they want in a tomato, and insert the genes that will code those traits into the plant. The gene does not have to be from the same species. The original goal of these was to reduce diseases in crops and create greater output. This seemed like a great idea. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/10/5_heirlooms_Aufmuth.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/10/5_heirlooms_Aufmuth.jpg\" alt=\"Heirloom vegetables are prized for their uniqueness, rather than uniformity.

These countries also considered GMOs unfair to farmers and unsustainable. While genetically modified tomatoes did appear in 1994, they disappeared just four years later. Very few food items we might find in the produce department are genetically modified. The most common genetically modified crops are corn and soybeans and these are used in processed foods and fed to livestock on industrial farms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/10/6_heirlooms_Aumuth.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/10/6_heirlooms_Aumuth.jpg\" alt=\"Recent studies have shown that green parts on tomatoes increase their sweetness.

They are usually not available to home gardeners, and when grown by farmers, it is illegal for them to save seeds to plant again. In fact, if seeds from a neighboring farm or backyard garden cross-pollinate with your crop, Monsanto can charge you for patent infringement.

I am someone who thinks that writing about food need not be vacuous work, and that food isn’t always about celebrity food.

I love that kind of intense time with colleagues and friends who arrive like bandits.

As time goes on, I’m trying to balance that time at home and time in the office. I am not just saying this about the Street Food Festival and La Cocina but it’s gonna get harder and harder to get my butt on the road. However, anytime I can do something for La Cocina and Caleb, I will.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We live in a time of xenophobia, especially where I am in the South where immigrants are pilloried. I was raised in the South and appreciate the import of the Civil Rights movement.

There’s a new copy of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.oxfordamerican.org/\">Oxford American\u003c/a>, which I’ve long been writing for.... Then there’s The Liberation of Lord Byron Jones by a guy named Jesse Hill Ford. And I’m reading a book called the Price of Defiance about the 50th anniversary of the riots at the University of Mississippi. There’s not a lot of food stuff on my nightstand. I read and subscribe to Bon Appétit, Gastronomica and a number of other magazines. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bay Area Bites: Who are your mentors?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Edge:\u003c/strong> \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Egerton_(journalist)\">John Egerton\u003c/a>.

Incubator events like La Cocina and \u003ca href=\"http://offthegridsf.com/\">Off the Grid\u003c/a> coupled with entrepreneurial acumen in folks like \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/LIBAfalafel\">Liba Falafel\u003c/a> and the \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/KungFuTacos\">Kung Fu Tacos\u003c/a> guys and certainly \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/RoliRoti\">Roli Roti\u003c/a>. Those systematic efforts and singular efforts of entrepreneurs delivered a vital street food scene. I assumed if street food was growing in the U.S. and San Francisco is such a great food town, you’d see that reflected. But at the time I was researching, San Francisco wasn’t a strong street food city. Now when I return it is. It’s the working class end of things.

I am someone who thinks that writing about food need not be vacuous work, and that food isn’t always about celebrity food. It’s not always about the fancy pants dinner but about working class American food and especially how that relates to new immigrants. That’s important to me as a writer -- as a progressive thinker and doer in America. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bay Area Bites:\u003c/strong> \u003cstrong>Events and travel seem to make up much of your work when you're not writing. What’s that like?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Edge:\u003c/strong> I travel probably one-fourth to one-third of my time and that travel is half the time for writing assignments and research and the other half is for Southern Alliance Foodways events and fundraising. I love that kind of intense time with colleagues and friends who arrive like bandits. Those kinds of quick intense periods of “work ‘til 11, drink ‘til 3” I love... but you know I also live in a small college town that I dearly love and have an eleven year old and 40-something wife, both of whom I love, too. As time goes on, I’m trying to balance that time at home and time in the office. I am not just saying this about the Street Food Festival and La Cocina but it’s gonna get harder and harder to get my butt on the road. However, anytime I can do something for La Cocina and Caleb, I will.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We live in a time of xenophobia, especially where I am in the South where immigrants are pilloried. I was raised in the South and appreciate the import of the Civil Rights movement. I see a new era in which the divisions are based along ethnicity and class and I see what La Cocina and the Street Food Fest does is one creative way to address that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bay Area Bites: Where do you get your information about food? What’s on your nightstand reading pile?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Edge:\u003c/strong> On my nightstand, there are about four copies of the New Yorker that I’m way behind on. There’s a copy of Knife and Fork, a brilliant food letter out of Atlanta edited by Christiane Lauterbach. Her writing is full of spirit and venom and I’ve been reading her for 25 years. There’s a new copy of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.oxfordamerican.org/\">Oxford American\u003c/a>, which I’ve long been writing for.... Then there’s The Liberation of Lord Byron Jones by a guy named Jesse Hill Ford. And I’m reading a book called the Price of Defiance about the 50th anniversary of the riots at the University of Mississippi. There’s not a lot of food stuff on my nightstand. I read and subscribe to Bon Appétit, Gastronomica and a number of other magazines. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bay Area Bites: Who are your mentors?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Edge:\u003c/strong> \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Egerton_(journalist)\">John Egerton\u003c/a>. The name sounds familiar, I know. He has two books that speak about the generation before the civil rights movement and around the Brown decision....You see Southern food at home, on the road and here’s a popular history of southern food. His is the first book to pay down the debt that the South owes to the cooks who have sustained us cooks who are and were African American.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://africooks.com/jessicas_bio.shtml\">Jessica Harris\u003c/a> is another one of my mentors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bay Area Bites:\u003c/strong> \u003cstrong>What are your thoughts on the state of street food in the Bay Area given you just published The Truck Food Cookbook? Where are we with knowledge and appreciation?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Edge:\u003c/strong> When I was researching this book in 2009 and 2010 in many ways the Bay Area lagged behind much of the country. Incubator events like La Cocina and \u003ca href=\"http://offthegridsf.com/\">Off the Grid\u003c/a> coupled with entrepreneurial acumen in folks like \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/LIBAfalafel\">Liba Falafel\u003c/a> and the \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/KungFuTacos\">Kung Fu Tacos\u003c/a> guys and certainly \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/RoliRoti\">Roli Roti\u003c/a>. Those systematic efforts and singular efforts of entrepreneurs delivered a vital street food scene. I assumed if street food was growing in the U.S. and San Francisco is such a great food town, you’d see that reflected. But at the time I was researching, San Francisco wasn’t a strong street food city. Now when I return it is. It’s the working class end of things. If you’re going to define a street food scene as vital it has to encompass both ends of the spectrum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cbr>\nBay Area Bites: What were some of your favorite food and drink finds while you were in town?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Edge:\u003c/strong> I don't know (laughs). I had a crazy beautiful dinner at \u003ca href=\"http://coirestaurant.com/\">Coi\u003c/a>. A kind of elegant bowl of grits of ground corn with a garnish of popcorn. That was one of many beautiful dishes in a night. The ballsiness of [Chef-Owner \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2011/01/07/food-secrets-of-chefrestaurateurwriter-daniel-patterson/\">Daniel] Patterson\u003c/a> and elegance of his cooking in one dish: I admired the heck out of that. “I’m going to serve you grits with an ancient native American pedigree and serve it with something you already recognize. I’m going to do it in such a way that I can honor the commonalities and also celebrate my own way with ground corn.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bay Area Bites: \u003c/strong>Did he know you were coming in?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Edge: \u003c/strong>He did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bay Area Bites:\u003c/strong> \u003cstrong>Do you have any foods that are a guilty pleasure?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Are these a cherished part of African American culture or a recipe for an early death? The answer is both, as last Thursday’s West Coast premiere of \u003ca href=\"http://www.bhurt.com/\">Byron Hurt\u003c/a>’s movie \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/SoulFoodJunkies\">Soul Food Junkies\u003c/a> vividly demonstrated.

Hurt recalls that growing up he wanted to be just like his “Pops” and copied his Sunday breakfast ritual of grits and eggs, smothered with cheese, salt pork and bacon. After college, Hurt, (as well as his sister and mother) altered their diets. But, his father continued to gain weight, refusing to change his eating habits, even in the face of the pancreatic cancer that ultimately took his life at an early age. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hurt's personal story is flanked throughout the film by commentary from a range of historians, scholars, soul food chefs, doctors, and everyday folk who illuminate the cultural complexities in the African American relationship to food. “Soul food is a repository for our history,” says one. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Discussions about food in the historical context of slavery and the Jim Crow era help to illuminate the subject. Slavery was an economic institution and slaves had to be fed enough to survive the long voyage. Once here, some were expected to grow their own food and others hunted and fished like they did back in Africa. Also, female slaves were doing the cooking for the people in the big house and taking care of the children. “The hand of the African in the pot transformed Southern cooking,” comments one food expert. “Survival food for slaves became delicacies.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Slaves did what they needed to do to survive and make it through harsh times,\" explains Hurt. \"Then that way of cooking got passed down from generation to generation. And today there is a reluctance to let go of the vestiges of the way of life of our forefathers and foremothers, even though things have changed: foods are now processed and full of chemicals and we’re not as active as previous generations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/06/sfj-fried-chicken.jpeg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/06/sfj-fried-chicken.jpeg\" alt=\"soul food junkies fried chicken\" title=\"soul food junkies fried chicken\" width=\"560\" height=\"372\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-45002\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Fried chicken. Photo: Shawn Escoffery\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hurt’s mother describes the reasons she always prepared box lunches for the family to eat on their annual drives from their home in Long Island to Georgia. Because of Jim Crow laws, Black people could not be sure of finding hotels or restaurants that would serve them during road trips and so routinely brought hearty lunches of fried chicken and sides to keep them satisfied until they reached their destination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More recent history shows that there has been a movement for healthy food awareness in African American culture for many years. “The best moments of the black freedom struggle, was with organizations like the \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Panther_Party\">Black Panthers\u003c/a>,\" comments a food historian. \"They understood the relationship of developing a Black nation and the necessity of developing a healthy diet.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others interviewed in the film, however, are still very attached to Soul Food (the term was first coined in the '60s) and find creative rationalizations to keep eating it, such as, “Eve was made out of Adam’s rib, so ribs must be good.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/06/sfj.jpeg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/06/sfj.jpeg\" alt=\"Ribs, cabbage, rice, and potato salad on the side.

Photo: Shawn Escoffery\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A poignant scene has Hurt stopping by some tailgating partiers at Mississippi's Jackson State University. The affable group of guys shows Hurt their “Junk Pot”--a huge stock pot filled with corn, pigs ears, pig feet and “everything else that’s not good for you.” With classic Southern hospitality, they invite him to have a sample. Hurt, who has stopped eating pork, doesn’t wish to offend these gentlemen, and so delicately extracts a small cob of corn to taste. This ploy does not escape the partiers who insist he take some meat. Hurt finally does sample a dripping turkey neck and reluctantly admits how delicious it is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Educating any cultural group about the unhealthiness of treasured comfort food is a challenge because the concept of “comfort” connects us to foods that mom or grandma made and even fed us with her own hands. This primal, sensory gratification exists on an emotional, pre-verbal level, which does not speak the rational language of blood pressure screenings. In 2010, \u003ca href=\"http://saulsdeli.com/deli/referendum-on-the-deli-menu/\">Saul’s Deli in Berkeley\u003c/a> engaged in a similar debate and dialogue regarding nostalgia for “real” deli food (e.g. mile-high pastrami sandwiches) vs. the wisdom of sustainability. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a woman in \u003cstrong>Soul Food Junkies\u003c/strong> put it simply, “It’s comfort food, you eat it and it makes you feel better.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet, in the face of staggering statistics of diabetes, high blood pressure, and certain types of cancer rampant the African American community, food experts in the film comment on the urgent need to increase awareness and make changes now, before it’s too late. \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“If you want to wipe out an entire generation of people and engage in a 21st century genocide, all you have to do is to continue doing what we’re doing and deprive people of access to healthy food.”\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Food justice, food deserts, lack of access to healthy food and the proliferation of fast food all play a critical role in this discussion. As one food scholar puts it, “In America, there is a class-based apartheid in the food system.” Hurt realizes that traditions, especially those that speak to times of family togetherness and comfort, are resistant to change. Instead of quitting classic soul food dishes cold turkey, some cooks in the film choose to tweak traditional recipes, like making oven-baked, skinless chicken instead of deep-fried. “We have to make it a part of popular culture. We have the power to change and if we don’t, we’ll be sick and die.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/SoulFoodJunkies\">Soul Food Junkies\u003c/a> makes clear that hope for the future rests with the children. One of the last shots in the film is a group of African American elementary school children from \u003ca href=\"http://www.stphilipsacademy.org/\">St. Philips Academy\u003c/a> in Newark, New Jersey. The school’s “family-style lunch program, rooftop garden, teaching kitchen and science lab encourage an understanding of sustainability from seed to table.” We see the children yell happily, “Vegetables are Soul Food!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hurt’s last film, \u003ca href=\"http://www.bhurt.com/beyondBeatsAndRhymes.php\">Hip-Hop: Beyond Beats and Rhymes\u003c/a>, an award-winning documentary, was also selected for Independent Lens. It examines \"masculinity and manhood in rap and hip-hop, where creative genius collides with misogyny, violence and homophobia, exposing the complex intersections of culture and commerce.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/06/byron-hurt400.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/06/byron-hurt400.jpg\" alt=\"Byron Hurt credit Rebecca Bfresh McDonald\" title=\"Byron Hurt credit Rebecca Bfresh McDonald\" width=\"400\" height=\"533\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-45014\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem> Filmmaker Byron Hurt.

I‘m trying to create tools that inspire and educate so there can be a transformation and evolution to greater self-awareness. I used myself and my family as examples of what happens when you decide to change your diet and when you don’t. There might be many people out there who have been wanting to change, but need a nudge or some inspiration. Or maybe they want to help a family member or co-worker to change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Isn’t comfort food hard to be rational about?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nIt is a very hard thing. I may have underestimated how hard it is. I saw with my own eyes that despite all the health challenges, it was still difficult for my father to change the way he ate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What inspired you personally to change your diet?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nIt was my sister who set the first example in my family when she changed to a plant-based diet and I saw how healthy she looked. I had started to gain weight in my late 20s and early 30s. I realized that not being involved in athletics anymore [Hurt was a football quarterback in college] I couldn’t continue to eat and eat and eat the same way I had been. So I changed my diet and lost weight and felt better. My mom was more open than my father. She was a nurturer. She changed the way she cooked because she wanted to make us happy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>LOCAL RESPONSE FROM PANEL\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Closer to home, the panel of food activists after the Oakland screening of \u003cstrong>Soul Food Junkies\u003c/strong> said much to stir up the crowd.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/06/Aekta300.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/06/Aekta300.jpg\" alt=\"Aekta Shah of I-SEEED\" title=\"Aekta Shah of I-SEEED\" width=\"300\" height=\"352\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-45017\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Aekta Shah of I-SEEED at Harvard.

In 2011, about 30 high school students from Oakland, Richmond and San Leandro hit the streets to check out the statistics from the Alameda County Department of Public Health report that there were about 100 grocery stores in Oakland. First the students had to come up with their own definition of “grocery store.” Does that mean it carries fresh produce? Skim, 1% and 2% milk, instead of just whole milk?

Hurt recalls that growing up he wanted to be just like his “Pops” and copied his Sunday breakfast ritual of grits and eggs, smothered with cheese, salt pork and bacon. After college, Hurt, (as well as his sister and mother) altered their diets. But, his father continued to gain weight, refusing to change his eating habits, even in the face of the pancreatic cancer that ultimately took his life at an early age. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Slavery was an economic institution and slaves had to be fed enough to survive the long voyage. Once here, some were expected to grow their own food and others hunted and fished like they did back in Africa. Also, female slaves were doing the cooking for the people in the big house and taking care of the children. “The hand of the African in the pot transformed Southern cooking,” comments one food expert. “Survival food for slaves became delicacies.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Slaves did what they needed to do to survive and make it through harsh times,\" explains Hurt. \"Then that way of cooking got passed down from generation to generation. And today there is a reluctance to let go of the vestiges of the way of life of our forefathers and foremothers, even though things have changed: foods are now processed and full of chemicals and we’re not as active as previous generations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/06/sfj-fried-chicken.jpeg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/06/sfj-fried-chicken.jpeg\" alt=\"soul food junkies fried chicken\" title=\"soul food junkies fried chicken\" width=\"560\" height=\"372\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-45002\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Fried chicken. Photo: Shawn Escoffery\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hurt’s mother describes the reasons she always prepared box lunches for the family to eat on their annual drives from their home in Long Island to Georgia. Because of Jim Crow laws, Black people could not be sure of finding hotels or restaurants that would serve them during road trips and so routinely brought hearty lunches of fried chicken and sides to keep them satisfied until they reached their destination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More recent history shows that there has been a movement for healthy food awareness in African American culture for many years. “The best moments of the black freedom struggle, was with organizations like the \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Panther_Party\">Black Panthers\u003c/a>,\" comments a food historian. \"They understood the relationship of developing a Black nation and the necessity of developing a healthy diet.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others interviewed in the film, however, are still very attached to Soul Food (the term was first coined in the '60s) and find creative rationalizations to keep eating it, such as, “Eve was made out of Adam’s rib, so ribs must be good.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/06/sfj.jpeg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/06/sfj.jpeg\" alt=\"Ribs, cabbage, rice, and potato salad on the side.

Photo: Shawn Escoffery\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A poignant scene has Hurt stopping by some tailgating partiers at Mississippi's Jackson State University. The affable group of guys shows Hurt their “Junk Pot”--a huge stock pot filled with corn, pigs ears, pig feet and “everything else that’s not good for you.” With classic Southern hospitality, they invite him to have a sample. Hurt, who has stopped eating pork, doesn’t wish to offend these gentlemen, and so delicately extracts a small cob of corn to taste. This ploy does not escape the partiers who insist he take some meat. Hurt finally does sample a dripping turkey neck and reluctantly admits how delicious it is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Educating any cultural group about the unhealthiness of treasured comfort food is a challenge because the concept of “comfort” connects us to foods that mom or grandma made and even fed us with her own hands. This primal, sensory gratification exists on an emotional, pre-verbal level, which does not speak the rational language of blood pressure screenings. In 2010, \u003ca href=\"http://saulsdeli.com/deli/referendum-on-the-deli-menu/\">Saul’s Deli in Berkeley\u003c/a> engaged in a similar debate and dialogue regarding nostalgia for “real” deli food (e.g. mile-high pastrami sandwiches) vs. the wisdom of sustainability. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a woman in \u003cstrong>Soul Food Junkies\u003c/strong> put it simply, “It’s comfort food, you eat it and it makes you feel better.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet, in the face of staggering statistics of diabetes, high blood pressure, and certain types of cancer rampant the African American community, food experts in the film comment on the urgent need to increase awareness and make changes now, before it’s too late. \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“If you want to wipe out an entire generation of people and engage in a 21st century genocide, all you have to do is to continue doing what we’re doing and deprive people of access to healthy food.”\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Food justice, food deserts, lack of access to healthy food and the proliferation of fast food all play a critical role in this discussion. As one food scholar puts it, “In America, there is a class-based apartheid in the food system.” Hurt realizes that traditions, especially those that speak to times of family togetherness and comfort, are resistant to change. Instead of quitting classic soul food dishes cold turkey, some cooks in the film choose to tweak traditional recipes, like making oven-baked, skinless chicken instead of deep-fried. “We have to make it a part of popular culture. We have the power to change and if we don’t, we’ll be sick and die.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/SoulFoodJunkies\">Soul Food Junkies\u003c/a> makes clear that hope for the future rests with the children. One of the last shots in the film is a group of African American elementary school children from \u003ca href=\"http://www.stphilipsacademy.org/\">St. Philips Academy\u003c/a> in Newark, New Jersey. The school’s “family-style lunch program, rooftop garden, teaching kitchen and science lab encourage an understanding of sustainability from seed to table.” We see the children yell happily, “Vegetables are Soul Food!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hurt’s last film, \u003ca href=\"http://www.bhurt.com/beyondBeatsAndRhymes.php\">Hip-Hop: Beyond Beats and Rhymes\u003c/a>, an award-winning documentary, was also selected for Independent Lens. It examines \"masculinity and manhood in rap and hip-hop, where creative genius collides with misogyny, violence and homophobia, exposing the complex intersections of culture and commerce.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/06/byron-hurt400.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/06/byron-hurt400.jpg\" alt=\"Byron Hurt credit Rebecca Bfresh McDonald\" title=\"Byron Hurt credit Rebecca Bfresh McDonald\" width=\"400\" height=\"533\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-45014\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem> Filmmaker Byron Hurt.

I‘m trying to create tools that inspire and educate so there can be a transformation and evolution to greater self-awareness. I used myself and my family as examples of what happens when you decide to change your diet and when you don’t. There might be many people out there who have been wanting to change, but need a nudge or some inspiration. Or maybe they want to help a family member or co-worker to change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Isn’t comfort food hard to be rational about?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nIt is a very hard thing. I may have underestimated how hard it is. I saw with my own eyes that despite all the health challenges, it was still difficult for my father to change the way he ate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What inspired you personally to change your diet?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nIt was my sister who set the first example in my family when she changed to a plant-based diet and I saw how healthy she looked. I had started to gain weight in my late 20s and early 30s. I realized that not being involved in athletics anymore [Hurt was a football quarterback in college] I couldn’t continue to eat and eat and eat the same way I had been. So I changed my diet and lost weight and felt better. My mom was more open than my father. She was a nurturer. She changed the way she cooked because she wanted to make us happy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>LOCAL RESPONSE FROM PANEL\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Closer to home, the panel of food activists after the Oakland screening of \u003cstrong>Soul Food Junkies\u003c/strong> said much to stir up the crowd.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/06/Aekta300.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/06/Aekta300.jpg\" alt=\"Aekta Shah of I-SEEED\" title=\"Aekta Shah of I-SEEED\" width=\"300\" height=\"352\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-45017\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Aekta Shah of I-SEEED at Harvard.

In 2011, about 30 high school students from Oakland, Richmond and San Leandro hit the streets to check out the statistics from the Alameda County Department of Public Health report that there were about 100 grocery stores in Oakland. First the students had to come up with their own definition of “grocery store.” Does that mean it carries fresh produce? Skim, 1% and 2% milk, instead of just whole milk? A certain ratio of healthy to junk food? Affordable choices? Then they formed teams and walked through stores in their own neighborhoods, documenting what they found, recording audio testimonials, taking photos of the shelves. The students uploaded their data and photos onto a Google-map-like interface and ultimately shared their findings with representatives of Alameda County Public Health Department to begin a dialogue around community-based solutions to these issues of food access.

What’s new?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nI am an interdisciplinary culinary artist who creates one of a kind dinners and pop-ups, usually around themes involving some kind of storytelling. Some of my past projects have included Queer Food For Love, a collaborative pop-up restaurant I co-organized in San Francisco for four years with queer cooks and artists; solo projects through my catering business, Calico Pie, exploring issues like food wastes and worm composting, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and biographical dinners that tell personal stories of Diaspora and migration through food. My current project is starting a bike-up grocery in Oakland, called \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/HumblebeeGrocery\">Humblebee Grocery\u003c/a>, to provide week-round access to fresh produce and artisan foods east of Lake Merritt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Where do you live? How did you and your partner meet?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nI currently live with my partner Ami in Oakland. We fell in love over a picnic after I taught a cooking class in their shop. We raise animals, grow food together, worm compost, and keep bees in a multiracial, mixed-class neighborhood that we love. As a couple we are always thinking about how we can get our household more sustainable, by eliminating plastics from our lives or using reclaimed wood, or getting around by bicycle and biodiesel. Ultimately, we strive to create neighborhoods that are sustainable, too, serving local needs and creating jobs with dignity that treat people, plants, and animals with respect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I was based out of San Francisco around the Mission for seven years and I feel like I’m just another casualty of gentrification of the city. I love Oakland but mourn the way the Mission is turning into a suburb of Silicon Valley. Hopefully people like me can bring the community spirit to organizing and queer arts stuff. I definitely feel passionate about Oakland, and I'm involved in and sad about what’s happening. It’s all interconnected. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a queer, a majority of my stuff is in the city. Everyone’s scattering for survival. Queer Food for Love was an intersection between art and love and came out of time that people could whittle away from their day jobs. None of us got paid for that. We could find underground spaces and it required all of us to take time away from our jobs. People from that project had to scatter and look after themselves rather than the community. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ami has lived in Oakland for a few years. I see tons of queer people. There are events here and there but there’s not that sense of running into people to get coffee like in the Mission. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/06/500YasminServingBAB.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/06/500YasminServingBAB.jpg\" alt=\"Yasmin Serving\" title=\"Yasmin Serving\" width=\"500\" height=\"458\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-44900\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Yasmin Golan (R) serving food.

When more women become self-employed and support each other's businesses; when restaurant workers organize and form unions to resist exploitation; when workers form co-operatives -- I think more women, queer people, and folks of color will share the benefits and profits of growing, preparing, and serving food as a livelihood. Yes, the current food system operates within a framework of globalized racism, sexism, and class exploitation, but queer and feminist folks can help invent the future and create new systems for the production and distribution of food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Is there a difference between the front of the house vs. the kitchen regarding this issue? A difference for men vs. women?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nI feel like gender presentation does play a role in how people are treated in the workplace. As a femme I found it necessary to butch it up in kitchens to be taken seriously by straight men, and I'm sure a lot of straight women do, too. Does the gender role-playing in the kitchen make the food taste better? No. The more I work for myself, the less harassment I have to deal with, because I can focus on food and community-building instead of ignorance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/06/500YasminsPlatterJune2012BAB.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/06/500YasminsPlatterJune2012BAB.jpg\" alt=\"Yasmins Platter June 2012 \" title=\"Yasmins Platter June 2012 \" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-44901\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Where art and food intersect: Yasmin Golan's finished creation.

Has being an LGBT person affected your career in any particular way?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nAs a self-employed person I can say I am a queer, feminist chef -- and people who would like to see the world made safer for women and queer people can support what I do. Economic empowerment is very important to being able to say who I am and what I believe. Those who resonate with the message can then come out, too. If I say I am a queer person who is concerned about global warming and I want to start a business that reflects that, then I am making the world safer for others who want that, too. Coming out means standing up for what is more important to you than money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Is there a gay subculture within the food world and in the Bay Area?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nI see women being inspired by each other to start their own businesses, and trans people inspired by other trans people to work for themselves. Empowerment is how queer people are making the world safer for ourselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Since San Francisco is a gay mecca are there restaurants (as opposed to bars that serve food) that are known to cater to a mostly gay clientele?

Bay Area Bites is noting this 42nd annual come-as-you-are love fest by telling stories from the LBGT chefs, personalities and waiters who keep us sated 365 days of the year. We first talked with Palomino’s chef \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2012/06/15/lgbt-pride-profile-palomino-chef-adam-jones/\">Adam Jones\u003c/a>. Up second is chef \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/#!/chefpmistry\">Preeti Mistry\u003c/a>, 35, who is readying to open her \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/#!/chefpmistry\">Juhu Beach Club\u003c/a>, which will serve “Indian street food, snack food and a bit of home-style cooking” in the Mission and originated as a pop-up. Mistry was a \u003ca href=\"http://www.bravotv.com/top-chef/bio/preeti-mistry\">Top Chef Contestant\u003c/a> in 2009 and was executive chef for Google via \u003ca href=\"http://www.bamco.com/\">Bon Appétit Management Company\u003c/a> and was classically trained in London at Le Cordon Bleu. She was born in London, grew up in the United States and currently lives in Oakland. Bay Area Bites caught up with the chef recently via telephone and email interview. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How is \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/JuhuBeachClub\">Juhu Beach Club\u003c/a> going?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nThe restaurant is moving along...slowly. We have been in the permitting process for eight months now. We are very close to being done with this part. I’m hoping once this is done that we can move much faster. I’m looking at opening by the end of the summer. The concept will be similar to the pop-up, with more choices and dinner options. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Our goal is to be open all day but I know that the location in the \u003ca href=\"http://sanfrancisco.grubstreet.com/2012/01/juhu_beach_club_lands_permanen.html\">Mission\u003c/a> will be much busier in the evenings. There will be several starters, or chaat. Those are items like my handmade samosas, as well as a Scotch egg with lamb mince, Vindaloo chicken wings with Bleu cheese raita and a seasonal bhel puri. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The heart of the menu will focus on the “pav,” which in Hindi means small bun or bread. It’s the portable holder that created the popularity of the vada pav, considered Mumbai’s number one street food snack. We will have a vada pav, but also eight to ten different choices of fillings for your pav. Many are popular sandwich fillings from the pop-up like the “holy cow” and the “chowpatty chicken.” There will also be baby potato & eggplant in a spicy peanut sauce and egg masala. We will most likely also have a few larger plates like fish and chips and a curry of the day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The culinary world has often been portrayed as quite sexist… what is your perspective and experience with sexism and homophobia in the restaurant world?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n The culinary world is a contradiction when it comes to both sexism and homophobia. On a basic level, there is a meritocracy in the kitchen. On this level it does not matter who you are or what you look like or what you do outside of the kitchen. If you carry your weight and then some, if you are a team player and work your ass off then you are “in.” Make great food and then nobody can mess with you. Starting out, this is what I loved about it. You walk into a kitchen full of guys. They have low expectations and you prove you can do the job and then you are part of the team. Also, as a queer woman, once you prove yourself you are just one of the guys. I suppose this may be more difficult for men… I don’t know. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the next level, I think it only became more difficult when I moved up the chain. There is a change when you go from being in the trenches to being people’s boss. I think this is where homophobia (and sexism, and in my case racism as well) starts to really get in the way. When you don’t look like “the boss,” certain people don’t want to take orders from you. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Is there a difference between the front of the house (FOH) vs. the kitchen (back of the house or “BOH”) regarding this issue? A difference for men vs. women?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nYes of course, the FOH and BOH inhabit two totally different orbits. I suppose the typical stereotype is that there are more gay men in the FOH and more lesbians in the BOH. But it seems like with all the TV shows with gay characters, the political environment in general and changing attitudes of a younger generation, this is becoming less of an issue. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What is it like coming out as a chef? Has being an LGBT person affected your career in any particular way? \u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nWell it’s very rare that I ever have to come out to people. I kinda wear it on my sleeve, but I suppose there is always someone who doesn’t get it. I don’t really bother with those people. They’ll figure it out. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Being queer has to affect everything I do because it is who I am. I think once I moved into a place in my career where I was applying for Executive Chef positions, my triple minority status has probably helped me from a diversity stand point. I also suppose it added to Bravo’s interest in me as a contestant on Top Chef. They want an interesting and diverse group of chefs. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/06/PreetiandAnnBAB.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/06/PreetiandAnnBAB.jpg\" alt=\"Preeti and Ann Nadeau\" title=\"Preeti and Ann Nadeau\" width=\"373\" height=\"450\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-44842\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Preeti & Ann Nadeau photo courtesy of Preeti Mistry\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You’re in a relationship that’s lasted for over 16 years.

[Sigh.] So, of course the entire Castro… and now there are some great places like \u003ca href=\"http://www.frances-sf.com/\">Frances\u003c/a>. Honestly I don’t go to restaurants because they have gay clientele. I go for the great food and service. I suppose this is somewhat due to living in a “gay mecca” where we don’t have to make those distinctions as much because there are LGBT people everywhere. The Mission has so many great restaurants, and you are more likely to see more lesbians. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How do you celebrate Pride Month personally and professionally?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n I used to work for the \u003ca href=\"http://www.frameline.org/\">Frameline LGBT Film Festival\u003c/a> before I went to culinary school so going to see some inspiring and fun queer films has always been a part of our Pride month activities. We will check out the \u003ca href=\"http://thedykemarch.org/\">Dyke March\u003c/a> for a little while on Saturday. It’s always fun to run into people you have not seen in years. Then Sunday we have a tradition with friends to go see “Fun in Girl’s Shorts” at the Castro Theater followed by brunch at \u003ca href=\"http://www.zunicafe.com/\">Zuni\u003c/a>. It’s a great spot to watch everyone enjoying the festivities from the huge windows onto Market Street. The whole restaurant is usually super festive as well and it’s my favorite brunch spot in the city!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the Juhu Beach Club is open, I hope to be able to get more involved with events around the city.

Some might see a celebrity chef such as himself as a key player in the fight to protect our food supply and planet. Others, though, prefer their restaurateurs to excel in the kitchen and on the plate and leave saving the earth to do-gooder government agencies, scientific researchers, and nonprofit activists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A columnist in last week's \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.nypost.com/p/news/opinion/opedcolumnists/sustain_this_mario_v3D15YXykKYbYGW0KsVd4L\">New York Post\u003c/a>\u003c/em>, even lambasted sustainable food advocates in the fine dining biz for hypocrisy -- singling out players like \u003ca href=\"http://www.mariobatali.com/\">Mario Batali\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://joebastianich.com/\">Joe Bastianich\u003c/a> -- in an industry better known for excess and exploitation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given this ruckus among the restaurant elite, it seems a good time to check in with the director of food safety and sustainability for the \u003ca href=\"http://bandbhg.com/\">Batali & Bastianich Hospitality Group\u003c/a>, a national restaurant empire that includes Babbo, Eataly, and Del Posto in New York City, and Osteria Mozza and Pizzeria Mozza in Los Angeles. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/clams-pasta400.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/clams-pasta400.jpg\" alt=\"pasta and clams\" title=\"pasta and clams\" width=\"400\" height=\"370\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-44016\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Sustainable seafood remains a hot-button issue for consumers and chefs.

What does a typical day look like?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If only there ever was a \"typical day.\" Some days are totally dominated by food safety and others by sustainability, and sometimes entire weeks can focus on one or the other. For example, last month was focused heavily on finishing up Pizzeria Mozza Orange County's LEED Silver Certification, but come August and September our New York City restaurants start getting inspected again by the health department so I will be running around dealing with that. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Did you create your own position and how did you get into this line of work? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I did create my own job, and I highly recommend it. When it first opened in 2006, I was a line cook at Del Posto, Mario, Joe and Lidia's four star Italian restaurant in New York's Meat Packing District. I worked for the amazingly progressive genius executive chef Mark Ladner. We clicked and I transitioned out of the kitchen and into the office- creating a hodgepodge position of HR, executive assistant, green guru and food safety expert. The food safety and sustainability elements emerged as ones that were replicable and applicable to all of our restaurants (currently 18 in the US). Oh, and I'm a department of ONE.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Do you work with chefs, managers, front of the house, kitchen staff, wait crew -- or all of the above?\u003c/strong> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of the above. Both food safety and sustainability only work if there is buy in from the entire staff. Chefs and managers help me implement the initial changes or trainings we might be doing or working on, but the commitment and enthusiasm from the staff -- including wait staff and dishwashers, is what carries the change. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Does your experience as a line cook help in your current job?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Having a kitchen background is a huge advantage in my current position -- because I've been there, I don't make absurd suggestions that I know won't work, and chefs usually appreciate that. I went to culinary school because I loved to cook but I swore I would never work in a kitchen outside of the required three month externship. Four years later I was still working in some of New York City's and Italy's best kitchens. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/meat400.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/meat400.jpg\" alt=\" meats\" title=\" meats\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-43994\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Where meat comes from -- and how it was raised -- is a top concern for many diners. Photo: Kelly Campbell\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Chefs have reputations for strong opinions about what goes down in -- and comes out of -- their kitchens. How do you navigate that?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We are a chef-driven restaurant group so when it comes to sustainable food purchasing I make suggestions instead of issuing edicts. Luckily for me I work with a talented group of eco-minded chefs who are capable of balancing their commitment to the environment with making food that tastes good. As far as the food safety requirements and some of the non-food related green stuff, they know Mario and Joe wholeheartedly believe in it, so they are on board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What kinds of things do you address on the food safety front: Is it all about food poisoning, sourcing reviews, and hygiene practices?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We comply fully with all local and state health department guidelines. My job is to keep up with these codes, keep the chefs and managers up to date, and then inspect, train, and reinforce. I track outbreaks and recalls and keep them abreast of these as well. We do food safety and food allergen training for front-of-house staff. We take these things seriously. Each restaurant is capable of dealing with the rare food poisoning concern, but if there ever is an issue that needs an extra hand, I deal with it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What about the sustainability side of your job?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's like vapor, it can expand endlessly, from testing a new electrolyzed water technology to investigating a hydroponic garden technology, to partnering with the New York Botanical Garden for Mario's edible garden beds. Each of our restaurants is a certified green restaurant (or is in the process of being certified), and maintaining that in and of itself can be a full-time job. You name it, it comes under my umbrella: Whether it's visiting our compost facility to make sure our waste is going where it should be going or screening the movie \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://endoftheline.com/\">The End of the Line\u003c/a>\u003c/em> to our staff so they know what is happening to our oceans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Consider: Fois gras, bluefin tuna, and factory-farmed meat. How do you handle such sustainability concerns? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As an almost all Italian restaurant group I don't have to deal with foie gras. Bluefin tuna is the only thing we actually banned our chefs from purchasing altogether (now that I just gave that whole spiel about how I never tell them what to do). I have since had some second thoughts about that as the fishermen who are going about procuring bluefin the correct way deserve support. Lastly, not a fan of industrially-raised meat. I cannot say we do not purchase any at all, but we purchase a great deal of our meat from \u003ca href=\"http://www.heritagefoodsusa.com/\">Heritage Foods USA\u003c/a>, and were one of the very first restaurant groups to do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What do you love about your job and what's challenging?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What's not to love? I love everything about it. To-go containers are challenging -- don't get me started. Each municipality accepts different items, the chasing arrows and the numbers on the bottom of the containers are totally misleading, compostable containers are only compostable in a compost facility and most cities won't pick up compost anyway, so what are you going to do with it? It makes me so mad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What kind of skill set or personality do you need for a gig like yours?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The food safety part definitely requires that you tap into your inner nerd. I also think balance is really important, and understanding that sustainability isn't sexy all the time -- it's not all about solar panels. Sometimes it's about a boring faucet aerator.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/mario-batali.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/mario-batali.jpg\" alt=\"Mario Batali\" title=\"Mario Batali\" width=\"349\" height=\"262\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-43990\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Mario Batali.

Meatless Monday is a message of moderation, reminding the world that the same chef who was famously photographed with sausage links around his neck was also photographed with kohlrabi on his head in \u003cem>TIME\u003c/em> magazine. Going meatless once a week can reduce a person's risk for chronic preventable conditions like cardiovascular disease, diabetes and obesity. It can also help reduce an individual's carbon footprint and save resources like fresh water and fossil fuels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The simple answer to Chef Keller’s question: “Is it really my responsibility to worry about carbon footprint?” is, YES. It is everyone's job to worry about sustainability. If he needs a more selfish motivation: he should worry because if he doesn't choose wisely ten years from now he won’t have any fish left with which to create his art.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/embed/WjWDm80O21A\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n",

What does a typical day look like?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If only there ever was a \"typical day.\" Some days are totally dominated by food safety and others by sustainability, and sometimes entire weeks can focus on one or the other. For example, last month was focused heavily on finishing up Pizzeria Mozza Orange County's LEED Silver Certification, but come August and September our New York City restaurants start getting inspected again by the health department so I will be running around dealing with that. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Did you create your own position and how did you get into this line of work? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I did create my own job, and I highly recommend it. When it first opened in 2006, I was a line cook at Del Posto, Mario, Joe and Lidia's four star Italian restaurant in New York's Meat Packing District. I worked for the amazingly progressive genius executive chef Mark Ladner. We clicked and I transitioned out of the kitchen and into the office- creating a hodgepodge position of HR, executive assistant, green guru and food safety expert. The food safety and sustainability elements emerged as ones that were replicable and applicable to all of our restaurants (currently 18 in the US). Oh, and I'm a department of ONE.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Do you work with chefs, managers, front of the house, kitchen staff, wait crew -- or all of the above?\u003c/strong> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of the above. Both food safety and sustainability only work if there is buy in from the entire staff. Chefs and managers help me implement the initial changes or trainings we might be doing or working on, but the commitment and enthusiasm from the staff -- including wait staff and dishwashers, is what carries the change. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Does your experience as a line cook help in your current job?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Having a kitchen background is a huge advantage in my current position -- because I've been there, I don't make absurd suggestions that I know won't work, and chefs usually appreciate that. I went to culinary school because I loved to cook but I swore I would never work in a kitchen outside of the required three month externship. Four years later I was still working in some of New York City's and Italy's best kitchens. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/meat400.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/meat400.jpg\" alt=\" meats\" title=\" meats\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-43994\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Where meat comes from -- and how it was raised -- is a top concern for many diners. Photo: Kelly Campbell\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Chefs have reputations for strong opinions about what goes down in -- and comes out of -- their kitchens. How do you navigate that?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We are a chef-driven restaurant group so when it comes to sustainable food purchasing I make suggestions instead of issuing edicts. Luckily for me I work with a talented group of eco-minded chefs who are capable of balancing their commitment to the environment with making food that tastes good. As far as the food safety requirements and some of the non-food related green stuff, they know Mario and Joe wholeheartedly believe in it, so they are on board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What kinds of things do you address on the food safety front: Is it all about food poisoning, sourcing reviews, and hygiene practices?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We comply fully with all local and state health department guidelines. My job is to keep up with these codes, keep the chefs and managers up to date, and then inspect, train, and reinforce. I track outbreaks and recalls and keep them abreast of these as well. We do food safety and food allergen training for front-of-house staff. We take these things seriously. Each restaurant is capable of dealing with the rare food poisoning concern, but if there ever is an issue that needs an extra hand, I deal with it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What about the sustainability side of your job?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's like vapor, it can expand endlessly, from testing a new electrolyzed water technology to investigating a hydroponic garden technology, to partnering with the New York Botanical Garden for Mario's edible garden beds. Each of our restaurants is a certified green restaurant (or is in the process of being certified), and maintaining that in and of itself can be a full-time job. You name it, it comes under my umbrella: Whether it's visiting our compost facility to make sure our waste is going where it should be going or screening the movie \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://endoftheline.com/\">The End of the Line\u003c/a>\u003c/em> to our staff so they know what is happening to our oceans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Consider: Fois gras, bluefin tuna, and factory-farmed meat. How do you handle such sustainability concerns? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As an almost all Italian restaurant group I don't have to deal with foie gras. Bluefin tuna is the only thing we actually banned our chefs from purchasing altogether (now that I just gave that whole spiel about how I never tell them what to do). I have since had some second thoughts about that as the fishermen who are going about procuring bluefin the correct way deserve support. Lastly, not a fan of industrially-raised meat. I cannot say we do not purchase any at all, but we purchase a great deal of our meat from \u003ca href=\"http://www.heritagefoodsusa.com/\">Heritage Foods USA\u003c/a>, and were one of the very first restaurant groups to do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What do you love about your job and what's challenging?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What's not to love? I love everything about it. To-go containers are challenging -- don't get me started. Each municipality accepts different items, the chasing arrows and the numbers on the bottom of the containers are totally misleading, compostable containers are only compostable in a compost facility and most cities won't pick up compost anyway, so what are you going to do with it? It makes me so mad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What kind of skill set or personality do you need for a gig like yours?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The food safety part definitely requires that you tap into your inner nerd. I also think balance is really important, and understanding that sustainability isn't sexy all the time -- it's not all about solar panels. Sometimes it's about a boring faucet aerator.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/mario-batali.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/mario-batali.jpg\" alt=\"Mario Batali\" title=\"Mario Batali\" width=\"349\" height=\"262\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-43990\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Mario Batali.

Meatless Monday is a message of moderation, reminding the world that the same chef who was famously photographed with sausage links around his neck was also photographed with kohlrabi on his head in \u003cem>TIME\u003c/em> magazine. Going meatless once a week can reduce a person's risk for chronic preventable conditions like cardiovascular disease, diabetes and obesity. It can also help reduce an individual's carbon footprint and save resources like fresh water and fossil fuels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The simple answer to Chef Keller’s question: “Is it really my responsibility to worry about carbon footprint?” is, YES. It is everyone's job to worry about sustainability. If he needs a more selfish motivation: he should worry because if he doesn't choose wisely ten years from now he won’t have any fish left with which to create his art.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Consider these staggering statistics, mostly gleaned from a recent expert panel on food waste at the Sustainable Foods Institute, a media conference held in conjunction with the \u003ca href=\"http://www.montereybayaquarium.org/vi/vi_events/cooking/\">Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Cooking for Solutions\u003c/a> events:\u003c/p>\n\u003col>\n\u003cli>Almost 40 percent of the food grown and produced in the United States isn’t eaten.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The typical household wastes one quarter of all perishable edibles that come into the kitchen.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Every day the U.S. wastes enough food to fill the Rose Bowl, which seats 90,000.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The U.S. is the number one waster of food in the world, yet 1 out of 6 in this country go hungry.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The average American household allows $500 worth of produce to spoil a year and wastes around $2,200 worth of food annually.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Some 97 percent of discarded food ends up in landfills, where it produces methane, a greenhouse gas about 25 times as potent as carbon dioxide.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ol>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/moldy.leftovers.istock.jpg\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/moldy.leftovers.istock.jpg\" alt=\"mold in cup\" title=\"mold in cup\" width=\"403\" height=\"298\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-43643\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chew on those numbers for a minute. Then find ideas below from panelists like food waste expert \u003ca href=\"http://www.wastedfood.com/\">Jonathan Bloom\u003c/a>, author of \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.americanwastelandbook.com/\">American Wasteland\u003c/a>\u003c/em>, and celebrity chef \u003ca href=\"http://www.butterrestaurant.com/#/about\">Alex Guarnaschelli\u003c/a>, who took part in \u003ca href=\"http://www.foodnetwork.com/food-network-specials/the-big-waste/index.html\">“The Big Waste,”\u003c/a> a Food Network show in which chefs prepared a feast for 100 using food destined for the trash. \u003c/p>\n\u003col>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Buy Less:\u003c/strong> Shop more often and purchase just the food items you need. If frequent, smaller trips to the grocery store or farmers market aren’t an option, then plan meals and make a detailed shopping list to keep impulse and excess buying in check. Consumers need to get over the mind set, Broom cautions, of filling the fridge to the brim. And if you’re a weekly shopper, leave one or two nights open for repurposing leftovers.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Rethink Portion Size:\u003c/strong> Most cooks want to feed family and friends well and err on the side of generous servings. But such thinking contributes to a phenomenon known as plate waste: Uneaten food headed straight for the compost bin or (worse) garbage pail. Instead, try small servings the first time around, and place seconds within easy reach on the table. Or serve food family style, where individuals can help themselves. As one conference participant pointed out, overeating is a form of food waste too and many eaters feel compelled by culture or conditioning to eat everything dished up for dinner.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Love Leftovers:\u003c/strong> Pack that extra pasta and salad (keep dressing on the side to avoid gluggy greens) into containers for the next day’s work or school lunch. Or turn leftovers into an entirely new dish for a future dinner: Excess chicken can make its way into a rice bowl or pasta dish. A pot of beans can be transformed into a soup or stew. Stale bread, as \u003ca href=\"http://www.tamareadler.com/\">Tamar Adler\u003c/a> notes in her ode to \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/22/opinion/thanksgiving-thrift-the-holiday-as-a-model-for-sustainable-cooking.html?pagewanted=all\"> sustainable cooking\u003c/a>, \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.tamareadler.com/book/about/\">An Everlasting Meal\u003c/a>\u003c/em>, can find a happy home in bread soup (\u003cem>pappa al pomodoro\u003c/em>) or salad (\u003cem>panzanella\u003c/em>).\u003c/li>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/moldy.bread_.istock.jpg\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/moldy.bread_.istock.jpg\" alt=\"moldy bread\" title=\"moldy bread\" width=\"471\" height=\"255\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-43642\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Make the Freezer a Friend:\u003c/strong> Lots of food items get a second chance thanks to the freezer. Extra stock, pasta sauce, or tomato paste can be stored in individual servings in an ice cube tray. Ripening fruit such as berries or bananas (peeled) can go from freezer to smoothies or baked goods. Bread and rice freeze well, as do nuts, which are less likely to go rancid in the cold. Most leftovers, stored in air-tight, clear containers, are good candidates for freezing for future use. (Label and date items to jog your memory regarding contents.)\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Learn Label Lingo:\u003c/strong> Expiration dates like “sell by,” “use by” and “best before” may indicate when a food item is at its optimal quality, says Bloom, but don’t necessarily equate to a ‘toss by” date. Your nose, eyes, and taste buds are often the best indication that something has gone off. This \u003ca href=\"http://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/guide/do-food-expiration-dates-matter\">guide to expiration dates\u003c/a> can also help you determine whether to dish up a food or ditch it in the compost.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Embrace Imperfect Foods:\u003c/strong> Chef Guarnaschelli encouraged panel participants to “buy something imperfect today.” A gently bruised peach can go in a smoothie, an oddly-shaped egg can find a home in an omelette, a slightly soft avocado might wind up in a dip. “Imperfect doesn’t mean inedible,” adds Bloom, who advises cutting off bruises and blemishes on produce. Bonus: As anyone who has shopped the Berkeley Bowl seconds section knows, less than stellar looking fruits and veggies cost less too.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Cook creatively:\u003c/strong> Conference panelist \u003ca href=\"http://www.rickbayless.com/\">Rick Bayless\u003c/a>, the chef-restaurateur, cookbook author, and television personality who has long focused on Mexican cuisine, says that Americans need to become a culture of cooks to prevent waste. Instead of giving cooking lessons, he notes, professional chefs should give anti-food waste lessons. “‘Food waste'” is a first-world problem,” adds Bayless, “in the rest of the world, what we think of as waste gets eaten.” A roast chicken, say, can form the basis of a dinner. Leftover meat goes in tacos, salads, or sandwiches. The carcass can make soup stock.\u003c/li>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/compost1.istock.jpg\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/compost1.istock.jpg\" alt=\"compost\" title=\"compost\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-43641\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Preserve Abundant Produce:\u003c/strong> Canning excess tomatoes, jamming extra apricots, pickling surplus green beans, are all ways of extending produce life and adding to a kitchen pantry, in households with the skills, time, and interest in taking on such projects.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Compost with Care:\u003c/strong> Most landfills are packed with discarded food scraps that are unlikely to ever break down. But rotten food will biodegrade and can be recycled as compost. That said, Bloom encourages consumers to try to use food before composting it, since composting has a carbon footprint. “Composting is great,” he says, “but producing too much food, and then composting the excess to then grow more food is a broken approach.”\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Give Away Excess:\u003c/strong> \u003ca href=\"http://www.shareable.net/blog/gleaning-for-good-an-old-idea-is-new-again\">Glean\u003c/a> from your own garden (or kitchen) and find a food bank, homeless shelter, or food pantry who could put these edibles to use.

Anyone guilty of forgetting pantry items long past their expiration date? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>American consumers are good at allowing food to go bad. Consider these staggering statistics, mostly gleaned from a recent expert panel on food waste at the Sustainable Foods Institute, a media conference held in conjunction with the \u003ca href=\"http://www.montereybayaquarium.org/vi/vi_events/cooking/\">Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Cooking for Solutions\u003c/a> events:\u003c/p>\n\u003col>\n\u003cli>Almost 40 percent of the food grown and produced in the United States isn’t eaten.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The typical household wastes one quarter of all perishable edibles that come into the kitchen.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Every day the U.S. wastes enough food to fill the Rose Bowl, which seats 90,000.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The U.S. is the number one waster of food in the world, yet 1 out of 6 in this country go hungry.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The average American household allows $500 worth of produce to spoil a year and wastes around $2,200 worth of food annually.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Some 97 percent of discarded food ends up in landfills, where it produces methane, a greenhouse gas about 25 times as potent as carbon dioxide.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ol>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/moldy.leftovers.istock.jpg\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/moldy.leftovers.istock.jpg\" alt=\"mold in cup\" title=\"mold in cup\" width=\"403\" height=\"298\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-43643\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chew on those numbers for a minute. Then find ideas below from panelists like food waste expert \u003ca href=\"http://www.wastedfood.com/\">Jonathan Bloom\u003c/a>, author of \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.americanwastelandbook.com/\">American Wasteland\u003c/a>\u003c/em>, and celebrity chef \u003ca href=\"http://www.butterrestaurant.com/#/about\">Alex Guarnaschelli\u003c/a>, who took part in \u003ca href=\"http://www.foodnetwork.com/food-network-specials/the-big-waste/index.html\">“The Big Waste,”\u003c/a> a Food Network show in which chefs prepared a feast for 100 using food destined for the trash. \u003c/p>\n\u003col>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Buy Less:\u003c/strong> Shop more often and purchase just the food items you need. If frequent, smaller trips to the grocery store or farmers market aren’t an option, then plan meals and make a detailed shopping list to keep impulse and excess buying in check. Consumers need to get over the mind set, Broom cautions, of filling the fridge to the brim. And if you’re a weekly shopper, leave one or two nights open for repurposing leftovers.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Rethink Portion Size:\u003c/strong> Most cooks want to feed family and friends well and err on the side of generous servings. But such thinking contributes to a phenomenon known as plate waste: Uneaten food headed straight for the compost bin or (worse) garbage pail. Instead, try small servings the first time around, and place seconds within easy reach on the table. Or serve food family style, where individuals can help themselves. As one conference participant pointed out, overeating is a form of food waste too and many eaters feel compelled by culture or conditioning to eat everything dished up for dinner.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Love Leftovers:\u003c/strong> Pack that extra pasta and salad (keep dressing on the side to avoid gluggy greens) into containers for the next day’s work or school lunch. Or turn leftovers into an entirely new dish for a future dinner: Excess chicken can make its way into a rice bowl or pasta dish. A pot of beans can be transformed into a soup or stew. Stale bread, as \u003ca href=\"http://www.tamareadler.com/\">Tamar Adler\u003c/a> notes in her ode to \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/22/opinion/thanksgiving-thrift-the-holiday-as-a-model-for-sustainable-cooking.html?pagewanted=all\"> sustainable cooking\u003c/a>, \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.tamareadler.com/book/about/\">An Everlasting Meal\u003c/a>\u003c/em>, can find a happy home in bread soup (\u003cem>pappa al pomodoro\u003c/em>) or salad (\u003cem>panzanella\u003c/em>).\u003c/li>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/moldy.bread_.istock.jpg\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/moldy.bread_.istock.jpg\" alt=\"moldy bread\" title=\"moldy bread\" width=\"471\" height=\"255\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-43642\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Make the Freezer a Friend:\u003c/strong> Lots of food items get a second chance thanks to the freezer. Extra stock, pasta sauce, or tomato paste can be stored in individual servings in an ice cube tray. Ripening fruit such as berries or bananas (peeled) can go from freezer to smoothies or baked goods. Bread and rice freeze well, as do nuts, which are less likely to go rancid in the cold. Most leftovers, stored in air-tight, clear containers, are good candidates for freezing for future use. (Label and date items to jog your memory regarding contents.)\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Learn Label Lingo:\u003c/strong> Expiration dates like “sell by,” “use by” and “best before” may indicate when a food item is at its optimal quality, says Bloom, but don’t necessarily equate to a ‘toss by” date. Your nose, eyes, and taste buds are often the best indication that something has gone off. This \u003ca href=\"http://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/guide/do-food-expiration-dates-matter\">guide to expiration dates\u003c/a> can also help you determine whether to dish up a food or ditch it in the compost.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Embrace Imperfect Foods:\u003c/strong> Chef Guarnaschelli encouraged panel participants to “buy something imperfect today.” A gently bruised peach can go in a smoothie, an oddly-shaped egg can find a home in an omelette, a slightly soft avocado might wind up in a dip. “Imperfect doesn’t mean inedible,” adds Bloom, who advises cutting off bruises and blemishes on produce. Bonus: As anyone who has shopped the Berkeley Bowl seconds section knows, less than stellar looking fruits and veggies cost less too.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Cook creatively:\u003c/strong> Conference panelist \u003ca href=\"http://www.rickbayless.com/\">Rick Bayless\u003c/a>, the chef-restaurateur, cookbook author, and television personality who has long focused on Mexican cuisine, says that Americans need to become a culture of cooks to prevent waste. Instead of giving cooking lessons, he notes, professional chefs should give anti-food waste lessons. “‘Food waste'” is a first-world problem,” adds Bayless, “in the rest of the world, what we think of as waste gets eaten.” A roast chicken, say, can form the basis of a dinner. Leftover meat goes in tacos, salads, or sandwiches. The carcass can make soup stock.\u003c/li>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/compost1.istock.jpg\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/compost1.istock.jpg\" alt=\"compost\" title=\"compost\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-43641\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Preserve Abundant Produce:\u003c/strong> Canning excess tomatoes, jamming extra apricots, pickling surplus green beans, are all ways of extending produce life and adding to a kitchen pantry, in households with the skills, time, and interest in taking on such projects.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Compost with Care:\u003c/strong> Most landfills are packed with discarded food scraps that are unlikely to ever break down. But rotten food will biodegrade and can be recycled as compost. That said, Bloom encourages consumers to try to use food before composting it, since composting has a carbon footprint. “Composting is great,” he says, “but producing too much food, and then composting the excess to then grow more food is a broken approach.”\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Give Away Excess:\u003c/strong> \u003ca href=\"http://www.shareable.net/blog/gleaning-for-good-an-old-idea-is-new-again\">Glean\u003c/a> from your own garden (or kitchen) and find a food bank, homeless shelter, or food pantry who could put these edibles to use. It’s a win-win: You’ll feel good about \u003ca href=\"http://www.shareable.net/blog/how-to-glean-for-good\">feeding someone who is hungry\u003c/a> and free yourself from guilt over food waste.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ol>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>“The Big Waste” on the Food Network explores restaurant food waste — and turns it into a gourmet meal for a crowd.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He just wants to stop the force feeding of birds. \"I don't know why chefs can't make something that tastes like foie gras that doesn't mean they have to torture birds to do it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The legislation gave California’s sole producer, \u003ca href=\"http://www.artisanfoiegras.com/\">Sonoma Foie Gras\u003c/a>, seven and a half years lead time to develop an alternative method of production considered humane.

He still sells t-shirts that say \"I've got your foie gras right here, \u003ca href=\"http://lafittesf.com/swag.html\">m!@#$%f^&*er\u003c/a>.\" (Did I mention this is a heated debate?)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What really gets in Jackson’s craw about SB 1520 is language he feels opens the door for California regulators to shut down most, if not all, poultry production in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“How big was your turkey at Thanksgiving this year?” he asks. “Read the law. It's there, in black and white.” He actually read part of the law to diners at Lafitte before they tucked into a six course meal starring foie gras.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Section of SB 1520\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>25980.\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>For purposes of this section, the following terms have the following meanings:\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>(a) A bird includes, but is not limited to, a duck or goose.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>(b) Force feeding a bird means a process that causes the bird to consume more food than a typical bird of the same species would consume voluntarily. Force feeding methods include, but are not limited to, delivering feed through a tube or other device inserted into the bird’s esophagus.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I put Jackson’s charge to Bryan Pease, Co-founder and Board Chair of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.APRL.org\">Animal Protection and Rescue League\u003c/a> in San Diego. He replied “The law focuses narrowly on the cruel practice of force feeding ducks or geese to enlarge their livers beyond normal size. It would not affect any practices related to chickens, turkeys, or ordinary duck or geese farming, in which the birds can eat as much as they want but are not FORCED to eat (in this case with a long metal pipe) more than they would voluntarily.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How you “read” the videos that depict the process of gavage (force feeding) depends on which videos you watch. If you take \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABeWlY0KFv8\">Anthony Bourdain\u003c/a>'s word for it, “a few angry, twisted people” are misreading a process less objectionable than what you see people do to each other for a “pay per view film on the hotel channel.” If you take \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ojvu7qHWqoM\">Kate Winslett\u003c/a>'s word for it, ducks and geese suffer a “terrifying and painful process” before being killed “for their diseased and bloated livers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/lafitte560.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-43114\" title=\"Diners at FU Fois Gras rEvolution\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/lafitte560.jpg\" alt=\"Diners at FU Fois Gras rEvolution\" width=\"560\" height=\"420\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Butcher paper blocks the diners' view of United for Animals protestors, but not their signs.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2012/04/25/jacques-pepin-talks-picky-eating-foie-gras-and-paula-deen/\">Jacques Pépin\u003c/a> told Bay Area Bites he feels the activists \"have no idea what they are talking about.

As Adrienne Hill reported for \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=13872710\">NPR\u003c/a>, Chicago chefs and diners found a way around a foie gras ban there. That said, it's much easier to circumvent a city-wide ban than a statewide ban.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As I reported for The California Report and NPR, animal rights activists estimate some 300 restaurants around California still serve foie gras.

Force feeding methods include, but are not limited to, delivering feed through a tube or other device inserted into the bird’s esophagus.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I put Jackson’s charge to Bryan Pease, Co-founder and Board Chair of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.APRL.org\">Animal Protection and Rescue League\u003c/a> in San Diego. He replied “The law focuses narrowly on the cruel practice of force feeding ducks or geese to enlarge their livers beyond normal size. It would not affect any practices related to chickens, turkeys, or ordinary duck or geese farming, in which the birds can eat as much as they want but are not FORCED to eat (in this case with a long metal pipe) more than they would voluntarily.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How you “read” the videos that depict the process of gavage (force feeding) depends on which videos you watch.
