Local is the new hot food trend. Weinzweig knows that his customers might be local food minded, so he needs to appeal to them, but that does not mean 5000 mile chocolate is local, no matter how he spins it.

I think of them all as "culinary historians." <br /><br />Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, I don't know very much about Ari Weinzweig and I am on the fence about the status of the word, <i>locavore.</i>~~louise~~https://www.blogger.com/profile/07335196139849995706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37695777.post-82689296400029533622009-09-13T21:55:43.389-04:002009-09-13T21:55:43.389-04:00I really wish I'd made it to the bookfest.
