Have you heard of the World Central Kitchen (WCK) organization? Neither had I until I listened to Matt Galloway on CBC Radio’s The Current and he told me all about it. The not-profit WCK organization was founded by Jose Andres, a well-known chef with restaurants in Spain and in the […]
Our cross-country drive to Emo called for an overnight in Fargo, apparently a magnet for Canadian shoppers. A little homework proved valuable: The Roger Maris Museum was in Fargo…in a shopping mall!
