Return to Front Burner

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT

There is an epidemic of childhood obesity in America. Not only are children exercising too little, they are eating too much pre-prepared foods, both from grocery stores and fast food restaurants. There’s a loss of connection with food that features fresh ingredients, with taste, with home-cooked meals, and with family dinners. Well pardners, Tim Love of Fort Worth’s Lonesome Dove Western Bistro, is doing his part to introduce kids to culinary education. Spoons Across America, a James Beard Foundation charity, is dedicated to providing food and nutrition education to kids, families, and teachers. Love is hosting a fundraiser and private screening of his recent trail ride across the country to cook at the James Beard House-- “Tim Love on the Trail – New York.” I know I'm heading west on Sunday, November 23, 2003 at 6 p.m. Call 817-740-8810, and I'll see ya’ll there.
