Eat Local challenge

From August 15 to September 15, brave Wedge shoppers will endure the Eat Local Challenge - and two of them have agreed to make their efforts public. Sarah Swan and Fred Grieco will blog their culinary experiences during the Challenge month - the highs, the lows, the recipes, and outstanding local food discoveries. Come to our website, www.wedge.coop, starting August 15, and cheer them on.

Plus, we'll have some special guests providing wisdom and inspiration for our all our Eat Local Challengers, including:

• Brenda Langton and local chef Nick Schneider (Café Brenda) and local chef Chris Bundy (Spoonriver)
• Michelle Heuser, local editor of Edible Twin Cities
• Jon Rodine, Red House Records and local crooner
• Lyda Morehouse, local author
• Beth Dooley, local author and Star Tribune columnist
• David Huckfelt, local band The Pines
• Megan O'Hara, local spouse of Minneapolis Mayor R. T. Rybak

And more surprises as the Challenge heats up!
