Monday, April 23 – We learn about the Culinary Arts program at the North Dakota State College of Science in Wahpeton from associate professor Kyle Armitage. We’ll hear about their restaurant nights, a recent trip to a regional championship, and an upcoming food tour through Italy. ~~~ The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, is the country’s biggest federal food aid effort. In the first part of a weeklong/5-part series, Harvest Public Media’s Erica Hunzinger provides a primer on who qualifies for SNAP benefits, how they apply, and the challenges they face. ~~~ We share an excerpt from last Thursday’s “Standing Rock and the Media” symposium at UND as we hear from Jenni Monet, an award-winning journalist who writes about Indigenous rights and injustice for such publications as the Center for Investigative Reporting, PBS NewsHour, Al Jazeera, and others. In this excerpt, she shares the story of being arrested while reporting from the site. ~~~ Shared kitchens, also called culinary incubators, help entrepreneurs launch food-related businesses. Such kitchens were the theme at a recent “First Fridays at B” event in Moorhead. One of the speakers was Megan Lewis of Milk Made Catering.
