The restaurant cheese plate crisis
With the increasing supply of artisan cheeses throughout the United States, one might wonder why any restaurant presents anything but a carefully selected, thoughtfully plated cheese selection. Regretfully, cheese wizards from coast to coast are finding artistry sadly lacking in too many cheese plate production lines. For more, check out my post at WineAndFoodWorld.com.

Sustainable fishing advocates aiming to curb bycatch kills
In yet another example of how industrial fishing operations endanger the future of fish, the waters of the Pacific now are dotted with man-made "reefs" known as "FADs" or "fish aggregating devices." Created as a response to calls for "Dolphin-safe tuna," these FADs appear to be doing far more harm than good.
For details and to follow Casson Trenor's reporting from a Greenpeace vessel over the next several weeks, go to http://www.sustainablesushi.net/2009/11/05/skipjack-seiners-and-the-sea/. His blog on keeping the supply of fish safe is well worth following at other times, too.
