As a reasonably-educated consumer who prefers organically-grown fruits and vegetables to the conventional, I often wonder why we've got these labels. After all, organically grown food is just food that hasn't been treated with anything whilst the intrepid farmer has been cultivating it. The so-called "conventional" on the other hand, means that the fruit or vegetable in question has been doused in chemicals to make it plumper, prevent bugs from eating it, etc. This bugs.
If you're looking for something a little different, and you're in the Fairfax district of LA, check out Chameau . It's this cute little moroccan restaurant. It's a little pricey and a little loud, but the food is good and the decor righteously hip. They're serving alcohol these days, contrary to outdated reports that they are BYOB.
Some friends took us there Friday night. The appetizers are to die for. The deep fried mussels with yogurt dressing are sublime.
Eat it, you'll like it.
