We are just back from a week of sold-out UFC Pig Dinners in NY, NY promoted by Slow Food NYC. We packed as many folks as possible into each event space and had a fantastic time. Thanks to everyone who came and ate dinner with us! We are still basking in the positive response we received and were very glad to see both old friends and new faces at the dinners.

Our friend Lee who works with us a lot and has her own business doing preserves has a brand new website. Not only that, she was interviewed on the Good Food podcast last week on KCRW. All very cool things and we are really proud of her. Not only that, but her preserves are top notch and you should check out her site.

She is also a wonderful photographer so check out her photos as well

[img_assist|nid=152|title=incorrect date pig flyer 08|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=0|height=]we were planning on hosting this years pig dinner on nov 1st. the pigs are ready, we have some good venue options in madison were finalizing and then we decided to go to paris. that being said i am very excited about where we are in the project and when we do host the dinners ( probably the 8th of nov) they will be great. below is the flyer that we had done for the dinner, its probably unwise to post it with the incorrect date but well just correct you when you call. we will also be helping tory miller with a dinner he is doing on the 18th...? not to mention some ideas of other dinners

Timothy Vollmer is one My 2008 CC Heroes

Tim Vollmer was one of the founding partners at Underground Food Collective, a few years ago he left to attend Grad School at the University of Michigan to get a degree in Information Sciences. I came across this link to a post at Creative Commons where they talk about all the good work that Tim did while he interned their last summer. We are proud of Tim and miss him dearly as he continues to do good work in DC for the ALA.
