Snack Break: It's Food Week!

That's right, this week is dedicated to eating, discussing and celebrating food! And unlike the pricey prices of Restaurant Week (damn you, booze tab), everything about Food Week is totally free. Thanks to the Fox Leadership Program, there is an event every day this week highlighting issues about food in our community. We missed yesterday's kickoff, but you can find a full list of the rest of the week's events after the jump.
