Want to meet your favorite Good. Food. Stories. editors up close and personal and sample some of our signature dishes? If you’re in New York this summer, you’re in luck, because we’ll be showcasing our favorite seasonal foods with locally-grown ingredients at the New York Botanical Garden’s Edible Garden.
On Sunday, August 1, Danielle and Casey will be demonstrating our famous Spaghetti Carbonara as we celebrate all that is good about garlic. And on Sunday, September 19, we’ll show you how to make a Roman gladiator salad with shaved fennel and oranges.
Cooking demonstrations are at 1:00 pm and 3:00 pm on both days, and we’d love to see familiar faces in the audience. Allow yourselves time to stroll through the NYBG’s 250 acres of more than a million plants; The Edible Garden itself has four (count ‘em, four) kitchen gardens—including a culinary herb garden curated by Martha Stewart!—and the Conservatory Container Garden, which helps all you small-spacers out with ideas for growing on your balconies and rooftops.
If you’re working on your own homesteader’s plot of land, home gardening demonstrations are happening each weekend too. Take a look through the complete schedule of events to see if anything else strikes your fancy, and if you buy tickets online, you’ll save $2 off each ticket with waived print-at-home fees. Plus, all proceeds benefit the Children’s Gardening Program.
The Edible Garden runs through October 17 at the New York Botanical Garden (directions here—easy as pie using Metro-North), but mark your calendars now for Sunday, August 1 and Sunday, September 19 at 1:00 pm and 3:00 pm. And bring your appetite.

As we slide into the long Memorial Day weekend, Good. Food. Stories. reminds you to:
eat your shish kebob and corn on cob (as seen at Coney Island, 2007)
indulge in a little fried food (yeah, that’s a chicken parmesan sandwich loaded with mozzarella sticks from the Docksider in Seal Harbor, ME)
and kick back with your favorite refreshing drink (maybe a Club Med mojito?)
Relax, hang out, listen to some good tunes, and we’ll see you in June!

There’s a lot that goes on behind the scenes at Good. Food. Stories. We each keep a list of posts to write, recipes to test, and restaurants to visit. We have guest posts assigned to former co-workers, correspondents in cities around the country, a Namibian chef, and of course the enigmatic C.C.
Following Casey’s return from food blogger camp, all rosy-cheeked and rejuvenated, we had a major brainstorming session in which we began mapping out GFS 2.0. (We ate some killer tacos and sopes al pastor while doing so. More about those in the future.) We came up with even more food-filled ideas, but before we go on, we’d like to hear from you. As with our food, we’re more interested in quality than quantity. And we don’t want to end up like this…
So we’re asking you to send us your thoughts, wishes, comments, and desires. What would you like to see more of on GFS? Is there something you really want, really need, and can’t find elsewhere on the interwebs? Do you want more recipes and fewer reviews? Perhaps more travel pieces? More articles from professional cooks? Maybe you just want Danielle to stop mentioning her damn dog in her every post!?!
Nah. Who doesn’t love Rocco Di Cane?
Anyway, please post your comments/suggestions/constructive feedback and (like those annoying New York Times commercials that are probably contributing the death of newspapers) get the conversation going. If you prefer to send your suggestions right to the source, you can always email us at editorsATgoodfoodstoriesDOTcom. Grazie tutti!
