Flank stank? Sounds suspicious :P

You might want to rephrase the item about the rabbis--according to the linked article, what they're doing is coming up with ethical guidelines for treatment of workers, not investigating anything (and appropriately so, since they aren't involved with any law-enforcement agency).

Im confused- why is there a picture of Will Allen??

Anyways, Im a big fan of Alice Waters, Dan Barber, and Eli Zabar. I approve.

hahaha flank stank.
