8. Sky Full of Bacon 01: How Local Can You Go?
1 year ago
It's Sky Full of Bacon, the Chicago-based high-definition video podcast about interesting people and great-looking food.
Local is a hot word in food these days. In "How Local Can You Go?" I visit two people who are taking different approaches to trying to bring local food into the mainstream in Chicago: a shop owner trying to create a market for local produce, and a Wicker Park resident who's turned his garage roof into a farm.

I was waiting for you to see if anyone actually harvests dandelion greens or purslane from vacant lots in Chicago.
I have candied 15th St. chicory flowers and Ruble St. lilacs and made muffins with 90/94 off-ramp and 16th St. mulberries. I can't tell if it was safe or not but I'm still kickin'!
I really like the roof-top box idea. The biggest challenge that I've found growing produce in Chicago is the wind. It can be deadly to the plants. It dries them out and decapitates them. But I'm going to keep trying.
