"One of the best things you can do for your health is to cook and
enjoy family meals made with fresh, colorful seasonal ingredients,"
said chef and author Ellie Krieger, host of Healthy Appetite on the
Food Network and a member of the Food Day advisory board. "Food
Day is a chance to celebrate the power good food has to nourish us
and bring us together."
"Food Day is a great opportunity for restaurants to show their
commitment to locally produced artisan foods, to showcase a variety
of whole grains, and to reach out to an audience hungry for more
sustainable ways to consume that are more in keeping with the health
of our bodies and our environment," said Ellen Gray, co-owner, along
with her husband Todd Gray, of Equinox Restaurant, Watershed, and
Todd Gray's Muse at the Corcoran, all in Washington, D.C.
"Why Food Day? It is time to make real food the number-one priority
in our country," said Alice Waters, proprietor of the acclaimed Chez
Panisse restaurant in Berkeley, Calif. "The choices we make about
food affect our health, the health of the planet—and the way we live
our lives."
