Regretful Goodbye to Katherine Rogers

October 2nd, 2010

Regretful Goodbye to  Katherine Rogers

We’re sad to say goodbye to our very popular Local Choice blogger Katherine Rogers as she moves on to lots of exciting new adventures in her life. She’s planning both a wedding and a new web based food/menu business. We’ll get you more details when she’s up and running with her new venture so you can keep in touch with her activities. Hopefully, she’ll still be able to do some editorial writing for the pages of Local Table.

And saying hello to…..Amanda Allen

Foodie Amanda Allen will be taking over  the Local Choice column and we’re so excited to welcome her to our family as she’s been an enthusiastic supporter of the magazine since it’s inception. A Nashville native, Amanda recently returned home from Georgia and she’s really excited to be part of our growing  local food movement.

Welcome her to the new Local Choice @ localtable.net/blogs/choice Update your bookmarks!

They will first do a soft opening to make sure everything is up and running smoothly. But expect everything  (except Swett’s and the Nashville Coffee Co..they have decided to go elsewhere) to up and fully running soon after.

And if you can’t wait till then. B&C BBQ is serving up hot pulled pork and barbecue chicken (as well as brisket on Tuesday and Friday) Monday-Saturday

“School Lunch” Dinner

April 7th, 2010
Have you been watching Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution on ABC? I have and I am hooked. The show follows famed British chef Jamie Oliver as he tries to change the school lunch program in Huntington, West Virginia. It is eye opening and scary what is going into the mouths of children across this country.

The television program is giving me one more reason to support an organization that is doing so much to change our food environment in Nashville, Manna-Food Security Partners. And their next event will be a great and FUN way to get involved.

Tayst is holding it’s 2nd Annual “School Lunch” Dinner. The dinner takes place on Monday, April 19th @ 6:30 pm

The creative menu will feature the favorite lunch dishes of the students at Glendale Spanish Immersion Elementary. Joining chef Barlow in the kitchen will be Laura Wilson of Holland House, Will Uhlhorn of F.Scott’s, Danny Maggipinto of Caffé Nonna and Guerry McComas of The Yellow Porch. Each chef has been given as assignment to transform a favorite school food into something fresh and unexpected.

The cost of the five-course dinner is $70 with $50 benefiting Mana-Food Security Partner’s Growing Healthy Kids initiative.

Who knew that boiling an egg with red onion skins would give you a pretty violet Easter egg!

Check out their website (theturniptruck.com) for complete instructions on how to dye eggs using ingredients that are already in your kitchen.
