From Street-Fruit to Edible Art

The Guerilla Grafters. Community fridges. Alinea's edible art at home. And are you eating ice cream wrong?

You've heard of guerilla gardeners but have you heard of guerilla grafters? Folks are grafting fruit trees onto city-maintained decorative trees in order to provide food to the hungry. It's compelling activism but is it a realistic fix for the hungry? We also talk about organizations doing similar work.

We love this new hyper-local movement of providing community fridges. Through and through it's a good news story. Communities are finding strength in providing food for each other.

Chicago's favourite fine dining 'not-a-restaurant', Alinea, is in the news again because it's offering take-out. Would you splatter-paint your dessert at home? Looks like fun!

To cap off this episode: you've probably been eating ice cream the wrong way. We set you right, even though eating ice cream the right way seems like no fun at all!
