The "Let's Talk About Food" festival, now in its third year, takes place in Copley Square this Friday and Saturday (September 26-27, 2014), featuring events like the "Earth and Turf" burger challenge, pitting Boston chefs against each other to create a burger that uses 20% less ground beef than usual; a discussion of responsible meat sourcing with Louis DiBicarri (Tavern Road) and Michael Leviton (Lumiere, Area Four); and more.
On Friday night, the festival begins with a rally co-hosted by Food Policy Action encouraging people to get out the vote on food-related issues. (RSVP to attend the rally here.) Here's Top Chef judge Tom Colicchio on the importance of civic action in the food world.
