Plan Your Eat Drink Local Week; Celebrate Grains!

HIPPIEWIRE -- Eat Drink Local Week is coming up from December 3rd through December 10th, but some events are already sold out. That means you need to consult the schedule (or grab a VIP pass for $150) and decide which eaty, drinky, Austiny event is right for you. [EdibleAustin]

HIPPIEDIPPIEWIRE -- Austin just basically kicked several different kinds of ass in the Boston-based Whole Grains Council's Whole Grains Challenge, which was about "creative whole grain menu offerings and innovative promotional efforts." Big winners: Snap Kitchen, Casa de Luz and ... Westlake Medical Center. [PerishableNews]
