This Thursday, skip the jet-lag and take your appetite on a stay-cation. Savor locally grown organic produce from People's Grocery artfully prepared by International chef Eddie Blyden of Henry's Gastropub. Eddie blends his West African & Caribbean heritage, Russian upbringing, and Southeast Asian travels with culinary training from restaurants in Germany, Switzerland, Anguilla, & New York. His friend Russ Maclean, formerly of Fleur De Lys will co-chef.
Eddie, Russ and MSF will donate their profits to People's Grocery, a West Oakland grassroots food justice organization that aims to bring everyone access to healthy food by creating a local food system. They grow over 30,000 lbs of organic produce a year at their 3 Oakland gardens & 4 acre Sunol farm, which distributes over 250 CSA Grub boxes a month to low-income families, offers free nutritional cooking classes, provides jobs for West Oakland youth leaders, and provides hands-on urban agriculture training to young people.
