In just a few short weeks, we’ll welcome Edible publishers and readers (like you) to Edible Institute: a two-day celebration and discussion of where the food movement is and where it’s going.
You may have already seen the line-up, which includes bold-faced names like Mark Bittman, Anna Lappé and Paul Greenberg (a frequent Edible contributor). Brooklynite and acclaimed food writer Jane Black (who has also contributed to Edible Manhattan) will also be with us to lead a panel entitled “Can the food ‘revolution’ cross geographical, cultural and class boundaries?”
We’ll be catching up with Jane in the coming weeks to learn more about the panel and her other projects, but in the meantime, we wanted to revisit several stories from our archives that address this question. Consider it food for thought as we approach Institute.
Have another relevant story that you would like to share? We’d love to read it. Let us know by leaving a comment.
If you’re interested in attending Black’s panel on Saturday, May 10, reserve your place here.
