Edible radish pods
Recently at the Morningside Farmers Market, farmer Nicolas Donck of Crystal Organics handed me a bumpy pod that tapered down to a point. Donck explained it was a daikon seed pod, and he had just discovered it was edible. More than edible, it was radically delicious — sweet and spicy like the best radish, but with the juicy crunch of a sugar snap.

OTP food trucks
Not so long ago, having food trucks travel outside the Perimeter was a novelty. Now, it’s commonplace. Check the Food & More blog to find where to get those street eats in the burbs on a regular basis. We’ve found them in Alpharetta, Kennesaw, Marietta, Roswell, Sandy Springs and Suwanee.

Crowdfunding
The days of having to win “Top Chef” to fund the opening of your dream restaurant are over. All you need now is an Internet connection, a good idea and a whole lot of friends. Some Atlanta restaurants are using crowdfunding to get off the ground. Crowdfunding is the practice of fielding small donations from the public through a website such as Kickstarter.
