Spatula Diaries: The Good Table

“Food and charity have always intersected neatly in Louisiana,” writes 225 food blogger Maggie Heyn Richardson. “Think of impromptu office jambalaya fundraisers that offset medical costs for families of coworkers, or the bounty of local restaurants that donate a portion of profits to social causes, even when many of them have been battered by four consecutive years of a soft economy and higher food costs. Last week, another impressive display of local generosity occurred when organizers of the Associated Grocers Fall Food Show donated 21,710 pounds of food to the Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank.” Find out more about the generosity of grocers in this week’s Spatula Diaries.
