You might remember Mark Simmons as the sweet, oddball Kiwi from Top Chef Season 4. Then again, you might not. Either way, I ate some of his food recently and it was pretty damn good, and I'm a tough critic. I especially enjoyed his homemade pickles, which, if you're in the Park Slope, Brooklyn, area you'll be able to sample at Get Fresh where he is chef (with chef/owner Juventino Avila). You might also try sitting out back on the patio among the mint, black edamame, and of course, that pandemic cilantro. + READ MORE

Paris is the city of lights and romance. It is also the city of croissant, steak frites, and boudin noir (blood sausage), and the controversial foie gras. It's a city that smokes and drinks. But, while these things are an inarguable and important part of the Parisian cultural patchwork, they are but a part. + READ MORE

You don't have to go too far below the not-so-overly-cute surface of Pixar's new WALL-E to see a pretty grim future, albeit 700 years from now, on Earth. If we continue to find new ways to reduce, reuse and recycle, (as Adrian and the gang do throughout Episode 3 of Alter Eco) not only can we avoid turning into the... + READ MORE

It's a well-known fact in the [ever-more ubiquitous] foodiesphere that pork is, like, the thing. Chefs cook it; people eat it, and this proclivity towards cooking and eating pork has gone way beyond a global reverence for bacon. One such chef cooking with pork is Akasha Richmond, the chef of the new eco-focused restaurant Akasha, featured in Alter Eco. Currently Akasha's (ever-changing) menu offers a Heritage country pork chop with Sambazon acai & honey sauce, white bean puree, and wilted greens. That'll set you back $24; I don't know where you live, but California ain't cheap and Heritage pork ain't cheap either. + READ MORE

Pandas eat it, people use it, the earth grows it: bamboo is one of those miracle, too good to be true plants that - miraculously - isn't too good to be true. But, as you'll see on Alter Eco, while it is used for things as diverse as sushi maki rolling mats, medicine, kitchen steamers and furniture, and has an eco-friendly reputation, it remains little understood, a mystery if you will. + READ MORE

Sometime before being eco-fashionable and eco-friendly was cool enough to be featured on Alter Eco, Adidas introduced their first hemp shoe; this was in 1995. But ignoring their marijuana-related status for a moment, which is indeed some of their youth-based appeal, the larger, more important legacy of other uses for hemp. + READ MORE
