Chicago Magazine's weekly Dish newsletter tipped me off to The Local Beet, a new Chicago-based site that's all about organic food, CSAs and restaurants around town that serve up locally-grown fare. Recent articles include an essay on enduring the winter doldrums (the author grows produce and cannot wait for the snow to melt--totally one of our brethren, even if his weather woes are planting-related instead of can't-cycle-or-run-outdoors related!), a discussion board topic on food joints for fresh, local dishes (they rec Frontera, which I loooove) and a blog reacting to local food news. It's a smart, info-packed site--I already bookmarked him. Photo grabbed from catchesthelight on flickr. Posted by Liz
