This week on Hot Grease Nicole sat down with NYU Food Studies Doctoral Candidate (and owner of a biscuit stand at Baltimore's Highland Town Farmer's Market) Damian Mosley of Blacksauce Kitchen for an enlightening conversation on getting the good food movement to the tables of undereducated, underpaid, and overworked families in the US and beyond. Danny "Macaroons" Cohen also came by to talk macaroons: French vs. "coconut", nutflower vs. wheatflower, and "sandwich" vs. "mounds". Plus Danny and Damian talked to Nicole about the changing universe that is Harlem in the year 2010. This episode was sponsored by White Oak Pastures: more info at whiteoakpastures.com.
