The fresh maker.

​This week in food is all about the harvest: farm dinners, cocktails from the garden, how our chefs are making the most of the bounty. While we celebrate the joys of fresh food, lets take a moment to review a few great stories we wouldn't want you to miss.

~While on the subject of farm dinners, see the stunning photos by Kate N.G. Sommers from this week's Foodography.

~We love chatting with chefs, this week Lisa Gulya talks with Doug Flicker and reveals the man behind the apron.

~ Rachel Hutton talks to local restaurants and finds out which dishes will never come off their menus.

~ It's almost State Fair time! The sticks are being polished as we all eagerly wait to eat from them. In the meantime, find out our picks for the best and worst new State Fair foods.

~20.21's chef, Asher Miller, introduces fancy pants food to that land of limbo, the rest area, respite of the weary traveler.

Have a great weekend, friends!
