LOCAL BITES
Sin Your Way to Heaven
It’s back. Boston’s Bacon & Beer Festival is happening April 30th! This means you have the whole month to salivate in anticipation. But, don’t get complacent. Tickets to this heavenly event go on sale TOMORROW at 1pm, and they go quickly.
Pretty Saucy
The options for cheap, all you can eat pizza these days are pretty slim, and rather grim. Your prospects will change for one day only—this Saturday—for the First Annual Peabody Pizza Challenge in Somerville. For only $10, taste several local pizza challengers and vote on your favorite for a great cause. All proceeds will benefit the Elizabeth Peabody House’s emergency food pantry in Somerville. Tickets are limited.
Meet an Editor
The James Beard Foundation awarded The Washington Post as the best newspaper Food Section in 2009 and 2010. On April 9th, you’ll have a chance to meet Joe Yonan, the Food and Travel Editor behind these awards, at the Cambridge School of Culinary Arts, Yonan’s alma mater. He will give a demonstration from his new book Serve Yourself: Nightly Adventures in Cooking for One and discuss his writing career. Tickets cost $40, which includes a copy of the book and samples.
Location, Location
One of the biggest problems with food trucks is also their biggest asset: location. Often they just aren’t convenient to where you are. Now through April 13th, the City of Boston is offering a Food Truck Survey where you can suggest locations for the mobile businesses. You’ll find it here.
On the Lamb
When thinking of Newbury Street, designer fashion and maxed-out credit cards might come to mind. You probably weren’t thinking it is the place to learn how to butcher half a lamb. Watch Tom Daly of Savenor’s Market, home of meat geniuses, do just that April 20 from 6:30 to 8:00 at KitchenWares. The 90-minute demonstration includes wine and lamb tasting for $50.
