Plenty of boring (but necessary) (but boring) essays on essential topics like food security, sustainability, rooftop gardening, community, etc.,* but the following pieces make it all worth slogging through:

“My filthy hand” – Karen Hines
“Walking towards the schnitzel” – John Lorinc
“These are the restaurants of our lives” – Shawn Micallef
“I, Rat” – RM Vaughan (holy fucking awesome)
“Fermenting change: the rise, fall, ad resurgence of craft beer in Toronto” – Wayne Reeves (a good basic history)
“The chicken and the egg” – Kathryn Borel, Jr.
“Never see come see: Toronto’s Trini roti” – Rea McNamara

Some snort-laughy lines:

“Asians will not put up with dodgy pork.”
“If her chickens could speak they’d probably sounds like Joan Baez.”
