"This year's Culinary Breeding Network’s Variety Showcase, marking its 10th anniversary, will focus on culinary grains and dry-farming and aims to build community between seed growers, farmers, chefs, distributors, and consumers. I learned that over 40 chefs and bakers will collaborate with plant breeders to create dishes that feature different cultivars and breeding lines, attendees will have the chance to taste new and in-development vegetable, fruit, and grain cultivars, and the event will be held at the Redd on Salmon on Sunday, September 8; tickets are available now." - Janey Wong
