Summary
David Kinch of Manresa Restaurant is a world famous chef with a new project, aiming to create a two-star Michelin dining experience that reflects the Northern Californian culture he loves. Cynthia Sandberg of Love Apple Farms is a farmer who has dedicated her life to creating sustainably produced and impeccably nurtured ingredients. Will the collaboration between these two food geniuses create a world-class restaurant, or will their differences destroy both the farmer and the chef? The Farmer & The Chef follows this ambitious pair as they work together to make the perfect biodynamic meal. It delves into their shared passion for sustainable farming and quality product, showing their return to the old values of farm-grown produce while never shying away from the latest techniques. The film provides excellent examples of how farms and restaurants do business, following Cynthia's move from a 2-acre garden to an 80-acre farm with over 300 products to keep up with Chef Kinch as he increases his cooking ten-fold. The documentary details the in-depth interdependence of farms and restaurants, and, above all, emphasizes the respectful relationship between the chef, the farmer, and the land they both depend on for survival.

Summary
"It happened on the plaza that never slept-my favorite place in the whole of the city," writes Lupe Pérez, to begin her memoir. A mix of historical fact, vintage photos and maps, recipes, music, folklore, and south Texan culture, Lupe's story offers an eyewitness account of life on Military Plaza in San Antonio during the 1880s. Facing the impending failure of her family's chili stand, Lupe is certain she can improve profits. But her older sister and hostess, Josefa, resists Lupe's arguments-until Tom O'Malley, an itinerant vaudeville actor arrives. By default, Lupe becomes Chili Queen, but each new venture presents new challenges for the struggling chili stand. Peter Meyer comes to town from the Hill Country to pursue his dream of becoming a shopkeeper. Despite their cultural differences, he and Lupe are drawn to one another by more than romantic feelings. They share a common entrepreneurial dream, and Peter helps Lupe grow in her business savvy. Just as business improves, word spreads of a new city hall on the plaza and the subsequent eviction of all chili stands. Where will they go? What will they do? The choice is Lupe's to make. And her response is bold.

Summary
Annotation Some say the adventurous days of grueling and dangerous scientific exploration are long gone, but Reiter (sociology, Brock U.) undertook a 10-month trek--without pay!--into the uncharted wilds of a Burger King kitchen to bring us first-hand accounts of the strange and marvellous customs of the natives. The illustrations are hilarious. Annotation(c) 2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com). Annotation "Making Fast Food is a long overdue book designed to uncover the brutal truths about the have-a-nice-day industry of burgers and French fries ... Reiter masterfully documents, analyses and attacks the low pay and appalling working conditions of the fast food labour force". Emily Caston, City Limits.
