Straight-from-the-farm guerrilla dining in South Carolina
Cool little video about an underground restaurant event in Charleston, SC, put on by Curious Fork/Furious Cork — "a place where the hungry, curious and adventurous gather to share, inspire or get inspired."

WSJ issues correction on Alice Waters and Ameya Preserve
The Wall Street Journal has this correction today to its Nov. 16 article on "Politically Correct Developments," which had put to rest some of the speculation over why Alice Waters was involved with Montana’s Ameya Preserve:

Strange bedfellows: Why is Alice Waters involved with the Ameya Preserve in Montana?
Alice Waters is everywhere right now, doing press for her new book, and the old argument over whether “Alice is an Elitist” is getting a fair amount of play – Adam at Amateur Gourmet thinks perhaps yes, while David Lebowitz (who worked at Chez Panisse for a long time) says no.
