OKRA WIRE—If you're one of the seemingly few people who really, really like okra, you should probably head to Okra Palooza this Sunday at The Lot, where chefs Chad Houser, Janice Provost and Graham Dodds will be battling it out from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. with okra dishes for a good cause. (Also, there will be beer.) Tickets are $30; get 'em here. [Eaterwire]
