The Civil Eats website she wrote it for, meanwhile, is a treasure trove of slow-food-style research, writing and revelations. Bookmark-mandatory.
(Don't worry—if you're reading an early version of the story, I told her about the Fresno/Salinas mixup. That will be remedied once CE's editors return from celebrating Rosh Hashanah.)
