Ideal Bite

And now for the introductions...personally speaking, here's what they had to say.

Los Angeles Local Editor, Molly Roemer

Eco-confessions: I love being a surf bunny while my boyfriend chases waves all over the world, so I fly a lot. Even though nobody walks in LA, I do go to the market à pied, answer "neither" when asked "paper or plastic," and drive a Prius to keep my footprint a bit lighter.

Wanna Spy? You can find me on my yoga mat, namely at Liberation Yoga, where I teach and practice. This independent spirit of a studio is like Cheers to me.

Favorite Animal, Vegetable, Miracle? Animal: Definitely cats. I'm pretty sure that I was one in a past life. Vegetable: Probably a beet, since it's earthy and rooty, and I have a sweet tooth. Miracle: This might sound cliché, but I'm pretty blown away by the miracle of life.

Chicago Local Editor, Alison Lara

Eco-confessions: As an incurable (and probably insufferable) gourmet, it's got to be imported foodstuffs. I know they're producing fine prosciuitti in Iowa these days, but I've tasted jamon iberico and there's no going back. I do carry it home from the store in a reusable bag, though...

Wanna Spy? If I could, I'd take up residence at Avec, a wine bar with amazing Mediterranean small plates. Or Hopleaf, the ultimate pub with a micro-brew list and moules-frites that slay me. (Catching the food theme yet?)

Favorite Animal, Vegetable, Miracle? Animal: I've never had a pet, but I think baby turtles are supercute. Saw a few hatch on the beach on my honeymoon. Vegetable: Summer-ripe tomato. Probably my desert-island food, if you don't count olive oil. Miracle: Language. I'm a sesquipedalian, aka word nerd, at heart.

Haven't signed up for the Chicago and LA editions (or at least told your friends about them)...still? Do it here, and enjoy.
