Many thanks for sharing the experience! However, I’m still trying to work through the complexities in the issues of responsible food consumption and production (sustainable, local, seasonal) that abut each other – for instance, how do I, living in MN, reconcile my purchase of responsibly farmed mussels with the fact that it must be shipped all the way from New Zealand (per the Seafood Watch Guide)? Which issue takes precedence?

I used to feel guilty about certain food purchases because of its impact on my personal, physical well-being; now, I must also try to keep in mind ecological and social responsibility as well. As you say, we must do the best we can . . .

I have a tremendous amount of respect for Chef Keller. He totally deserves the title “Chef of the Year”. I’m so envious that you attended the event. It sounds like it was like a lot of fun.

I went to this event many years ago where I had my first taste of talapia. Alice Waters and Rick Bayless were there that year, among others. It was my first indoctrination into sustainable foods. Though I admit I’m not as good as I could be, the event did make me much more aware of what I eat.
