Michael Leviton (Area Four, Lumiere) appeared on WBUR's Here & Now radio show last week to speak about how cheap food "is actually killing us." While he tries to run his restaurants sustainably and with locally sourced foods, it's a balance with "accommodating demands for exotic foods" that diners assume are always available. "I would love to be completely locavore, but at the end of the day, my restaurant isn't going to survive if I don't have chocolate, if I don't have coffee, if I don't have lemons." [WBUR]
