This was to be a panel discussion moderated by WNYC Radio Host Leonard Lopate, to kick off this year’s Gourmet Institute. It was to include Ruth Reichl, Editor-in-chief, Gourmet (now former), Barry Estabrook, Politics of the Plate contributor, Kim Severson, Food Writer, The New York Times, Josh Viertel, President, Slow Food USA, and Lorraine Bracco, Actress/Winemaker, Bracco Wines. Along with the demise of Gourmet magazine, this got cancelled too. Alas.
I am honored (hugely) to be the recipient of the 2023 Edinburgh Medal, at which I give a speech as part of the Edinburgh Science Festival. My talk, “Food Politics: Why it Matters Now” is at 7:00 p.m. Information about the Science Festival is here. A Tweet announcing my award is here.
