¡Join the fight!
I want to announce some exciting changes coming to Fair Food Fight next week.
Starting in August, you're going to see a very new look for the site, one that focuses more on conversation and discussion, than membership and multi-blogging. And since a great deal of Fair Food Fight's social aspect has come to take place real-time on Twitter, the new look is also going to slowly implement more and more innovative Twitter conversation here on the site. If you've been talking to me on Twitter, I think you're going to like what you see!
Don't worry, though. If Twitter is not your thing, you'll still have the traditional blog to read and respond to, with greater options for interacting on Fair Food Fight. Read more...

Thanks to 60 people with voracious appetites and also to very generous vendors at Fair Food Fight Night, we raised $706.50 to benefit Ames Farm in Watertown, Minnesota. Known for their amazing single-source honey, Ames Farm also produces a huge variety of heirloom apples and pears. Sadly, their orchards got hit with a devastating hailstorm last week, and the financial damage may be insurmountable for owner Brian Fredericksen.
Here's a recap of what's going on at Ames Farm from Yogagirl who lives at Ames Farm. Read more...
"I really love your meat," was a common phrase overheard at last Friday's Fair Food Fight Night. Out of place--or at least inappropriate--at any other venue, these kind words could have been meant for several guests at what was the largest, and best-attended Fight Night yet. The space at the Rau + Barber building was packed with local foodies, chefs, farmers and even the vice-president of a slaughterhouse. The night was filled with good conversation, great food and awkward dancing. Read more...
