Great American Meatout: No meat for a day

7:47 PM Thu, Mar 27, 2008 |
Kim Pierce   E-mail   News tips

The Great American Meatout encourages people to say no - at least once in a while - to meat, with celebrations taking place across the country this weekend. In Dallas, the Great American Meatout 2008 is Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Martin Luther King Jr. Center.

There will be speakers, demonstrations, food sampling, information tables and entertainment. Even if you're just thinking about going meatless, it's a great place to find out more and chat with people who have made meatless a way of life. Learn more about the Meatout movement here.

It's all free; the MLKing Center is at 2922 Martin Luther King Blvd. The local shindig is sponsored by the Black Vegetarian Society of Texas and VegetarianDallas.

Bird Friendly coffee

Being a responsible foodie gets harder all the time. Consumer Reports ShopSmart tells us we must now look for coffee that is certified Bird Friendly. This means the coffee is grown in "conditions that support healthy bird habitats." It's also organic, so that's good. The Smithsonian's Migratory Bird Center administers the program, and their website doesn't show any local distributors. Austin's got it, and so do Houston and Watauga (huh?).
Let us know if you find Bird Friendly around town.

Top Chef Season 3 ... hmm

What are y'all thinking about Top Chef thus far? I'm kinda tepid myself.

Project Runway is so much more satisfying a reality show to me, maybe for obvious reasons: Fashion is about the visual, and food, while also being visual, primarily involves other senses . So the intensity of the competition and the judge's scrutiny never translates as well in cooking as it does in fashion.

(Warning: spoilers start after the jump)
