Ideal Bite

Psst...want the key to a hidden stash of veggies? No need: The new Slow Foods Victory Garden will be as public as it gets - even if you'll still have to grow your own. Chez Panisse drool-inducer Alice Waters will join Mayor Gavin Newsom and others tomorrow to plant upwards of 40 organic crops - including corn, dill, lettuce, even sunflowers - right in front of City Hall. And in the spirit of not-so-secretiveness, starting Sunday, you can get a guide to walk you through the what's what, and more importantly, the how-to. The sustainably farmed harvest will be sent to a local food bank so that folks can get chem-free veggies. (It'll have security, so late-night tomatillo runs are out.) Feel free to spread that around.
