Good Food Revolution
is Gremolata's latest project, where we'll take the week's most compelling stories about food, wine and the people that make them online and compile them in one place for the benefit of our readers. I've added a little commentary, for fun. We hope epicures from all over use this site as a resource and also as an place to take a quick break and see what's happening in the world of gastronomy. We welcome suggestions, so if you see a "gourmet media" story you think we should post, please contact us at gfr@gremolata.com.
