If Grand Rapids were a sandwich, what would it be?

Using sandwich as an art form, how would you embody all that is Grand Rapids? Local businesses are rising to that challenge, and you can help decide which creation gets exclusive rights to being “the official sandwich of Grand Rapids.”
Around the West Michigan blogosphere: It’s A Free Country Edition
July 14, 2011 by
I can’t help but get sucked into the Oak Park Hates Veggies saga. Maybe because I’ve always admired the front yard gardens of Lisa Rose Starner’s Urban Ranch and Holly Bechiri’s Franklin Farm. I love reading edible landscaping books. And I happen to believe that it’s a free country. At least it should be. So what else is going on in cyberspace? Be sure to visit the links below to find out.
I Heart Michigan Vodka
July 12, 2011 by
I first heard about Valentine Vodka (imported from Detroit) at the Wine & Food festival last fall. Then, I was reminded of it as I stood at Art of the Table trying to find a last minute Valentine’s Day gift. (I bought the husband a bottle). Although I’m not a huge vodka drinker, it was very smooth. Now, I hear they won an award!

Around the West Michigan Blogosphere: Nourish Edition

First of all, congrats to Nourish Organic Market! I haven’t made it over to the store yet, but I have enjoyed their selections in the past when I saw them at Trillium Haven Farm, Grassfield’s, and I even had a delivery once. I’m so glad it’s its own store now. Check them out for a gorgeous array of amazingly delicious, seriously healthy, beautifully handcrafted foods. What else is news?
