Our friends at the Southern Food and Beverage Museum always have a way with words. Case in point, their great overview of our day archiving culinary treasures at Antoine’s.

A wonderful overview in the CMBC Community Update about CulinaryCorps’ latest brunch at the Holy Angels Farmers Market.

And a delightfully written shout-out from our friends at SlowFood USA!

Thanks to our friends at the Southern Foodways Alliance, we found out about this upcoming event at Lincoln Center, Rebuilding New Orleans in New York City.

With the city’s struggle for stability still an everyday reality, what better way to put that holiday bonus to good use. Enjoy the sounds and tastes of New Orleans while supporting the media leaders committed to covering the post-Katrina successes and failures.

“Preservation is a cornerstone of building and nurturing a sustainable community. The work of the Preservation Resource Center of New Orleans is a model for the country and, in the wake of the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, it is among the most compelling examples of sound stewardship of resources.”
