Taco Pop-Up at American Provisions; Gleaners' Fate

SOUTH BOSTON — American Provisions, a gourmet food shop in Southie, is hosting a "Cinco de Abril" (that's April 5) taco pop-up (because they can't wait for Cinco de Mayo to "get [their] fiesta on," according to a press release). The event runs from 2 p.m. until whenever the tacos, served on locally-made La Nina's tortillas, run out. There'll also be beer samples. [FB]

SOMERVILLE — The Gleaners' Kitchen was a Kickstarter-funded concept of a free "restaurant" (in a residential home) where all of the food would come from dumpster diving. Despite the Kickstarter success and international press, it never came to fruition. Boston Magazine looks at what happened. [BM]
