Foodie Round-Up: We Stomach LA
- Our lovely and talented sister publication Gothamist interviewed Chef Dan Barber about the Farm Bill and the "Omnivore's Dilemma" effect and how food policy and activism is changing the culinary face of the nation.
- Jeffrey Steingarten always says that New York tap is his favorite kind of water. The New York Times agrees with him. Is this enough to get you drinking LA City tap?
- The LA Times now features quick cooking how-to videos on their website hosted by Donna Deane of the Times test kitchen (how do you get that job?). Seared scallops and Sole Provençal look mighty tasty....
- Gridskipper's latest map tells you where to go in L.A. to find the best tapas.
- Take the Buy Local Challenge and pledge to spend at least $20 per week on locally sourced groceries.
- TV for foodies sure has been fun this week: Anthony Bourdain is back with new episodes (check out Gadling's interview with Our Hero here), and Top Chef is totally heating up: our money's on Tre or local chef and Venice resident C.J. (EaterLA checks in with CJ here.)
- One large red-headed food celebrity weighs in on another large red-headed food celebrity: Gold on Osteria Mozza.
- It's okay if you don't heart L.A. The important question is: do you stomach it?

i am very passionate about tap water. i don't see the big deal. bottled water and Britta are for fancy folks, and those with little faith.
i mean come on people, let's be real. if the tap water was harmful in any way, your next of kin could strike it rich with a wrongful death lawsuit.
and ok i admit that sometimes it tastes like you're glass of water has a pile of rusty pennies at the bottom, but oh well...
nothing is PERFECT.
