The Bite:
Let all your peeps in Chicago and Los Angeles know that the Bite's coming to their 'hood (and win a fab eco-prize while you're at it). Totally different from the Daily Tips, our Local Bites serve up the latest and greatest people, places, events, and products on the Chicago and LA local scenes each weekday. (And if you call another city home, stay tuned - a local edition may hit your backyard next.)
The Benefits: 
  • Having friends in green places. We'll be your personal guide to all the green goings-on in Chicago and LA.
  • Taking local to the next level. Don't just buy local: Connect, learn about, see, and taste local.
  • Conserving resources. Example: It takes 17 times more oil to transport nonlocal food compared to local.
  • Unique finds. Learn where to find truly local creations (not just what's at Whole Foods).
Personally Speaking: 
The Chicago and LA Biter Teams are psyched about having one more excuse to check out new organic restaurants and bars in their 'hoods.
Wanna Try: 
  • Check out sample Local Bites for Chicago and LA or just sign up already. Then look for your first Chicago or LA Bite on Tuesday, Jan 29.

Cocktail Fact

The average LA driver spends 72 hr in traffic per year; the average Chicago driver, 46. Nationwide? 38.

Bang For The Bite

If 10,000 Biters eat one locally produced apple instead of a nonlocal one, we'll save enough gas to fill the tanks of 50 hybrid taxi cabs.
