LAKE HIGHLANDS—It may still be 100 degrees, but 'tis the season for Oktoberfest-themed food and drink. Primo Brothers Pizza just debuted an Oktoberfest pie made with currywurst sauce, gouda cheese, bratwurst, sauerkraut, Yukon gold potatoes, onions, bacon and chives. [EaterWire]
LOWER GREENVILLE—Green Grocer continues their Chef's Choice Charity program with two featured items from former Sundown at Granada chef Patrick Stark: His Texas Cordon Bleu panini features Windy Meadows chicken breast, smoked ham, jack cheese, stone-ground mustard and mixed greens on sourdough, while the Stark-Raving-Rad smoothie includes "strawberries, raw cacao, almond butter, banana and a Mohawk goji berry topper" (whatever the hell that is). A portion of the proceeds from each sold now through the end of the month will benefit Stark's charity Mohawk Militia, which seeks to "educate consumers by creating awareness about the dangers of GMOs."
