Whole Foods Market down at 10th and South is hosting a fundraiser for Nexus today. Nexus is an artist-run, non-profit gallery space committed to "supporting local emerging and experimental artists engaged in new art practices." Shop at Whole Foods today, and 5% of your order will go toward sponsoring Yummy, an upcoming Nexus exhibit focusing on the vast impact food has on contemporary society. The exhibit will bring together artists of local and national renown to address two major themes: cultural food traditions and the influence of the entertainment and advertising industries on our eating habits. Nexus is also extending invites to local culinary schools, restaurants, and food-related charities. Yummy is slated to run from December 2007 to January 2008.

I went to Crescent City for Restaurant Week and I'm only just now getting to write about it because of (a) Fringe and (b) life, but since everything on their Restaurant Week menu is also on their normal menu, no harm no foul. The Restaurant Week experience, of course, is a little different (a 9 p.m. dinner reservation means you don't really order, you just accept what's left), and that's where my biggest problem with Crescent City was. Obviously I don't keep kosher: I'd ordered the pork chop for dinner. As an appetizer, I'd ordered the shrimp and crab spring rolls. This was all treyf. But one of my companions, who isn't much for pork, had also ordered the spring rolls, and when they came, they didn't exactly look like shrimp and crab. Didn't taste like it, either. I called our waiter over. "Did we get the right thing?"

Some of us are not exactly Martha Stewart in the kitchen. There's help for those that want a nice, traditional Thanksgiving dinner at home, but don't want reach into a turkey's ass to nab the goody bag of extra parts.
