To the Best of Our Knowledge

PROMO       11/25/2007   "Food Stories"
*How far did your food travel to get to you today?  100 miles?  A
thousand?  Or just down the street.  No matter where today's meal came
from, there's a story behind it.  In this hour of To the Best of Our
Knowledge, food stories.  New York chef Dan Barber faces a moral crisis
in the form of a 6700 pound boar named Boris.  The Kitchen Sisters meet
a Texan who wants to put a barbecue pit on the moon.  And we'll take you
to the wilds of upper New York State to catch live eels.

PROGRAM RUNDOWN:   "Food Stories"

0:00 - 13:14        SEGMENT 1: (13:15)
            Dan Barber is chef and owner of Blue Hill Restaurant in
            Manhattan and creative director of Blue Hill at Stone
            Barns in Tarrytown, New York.  Anne Strainchamps prepared
            this story of how this organic farm with acres of
            greenhouses and free range livestock embodies Barber's
            belief in the imperative to rebuild a sense of connection
            with where our food comes from.

            Novelist Jane Hamilton ("The Book of Ruth," "The Map of
            the World," "When Madeline Was Young") and her husband
            grow and sell apples on their farm in Wisconsin. Jane
            tells Jim Fleming what some of her orchard favorites have
            been over the years, and how an apple from a small,
            family orchard may differ from what you'll find at the
            supermarket. And Jane Siberry sings "Jesus Christ the
            Apple Tree."  Also, The Kitchen Sisters (public radio
            producers Davia Nelson and Nikki Silva) talk with Anne
            Strainchamps and give her samples of the new season of
            "Hidden Kitchens."
