This time it’s real: Tom Colicchio at Farmers’ Market TODAY [Eatin' Fresh!]

Tom Colicchio

I hope I didn’t confuse you too much last week when I incorrectly posted that Top Chef’s Tom Colicchio would be at the market — because he actually IS going to be there today! And you should go see him!  And take pictures!

He’ll be there to promote the Good Food, Good Jobs initiative.  The idea is, as they put it “Just as the Obama administration and Congress have supported a ‘green jobs’ initiative to simultaneously fight unemployment and protect the environment, they should launch a ‘Good Food, Good Jobs’ initiative.”

It’s a beautiful day for star gazing, so get out there and meet Tom.

FoBoGro Looking to Hire

FoBoGroYou know we’ve been super excited to see FoBoGro open.  We’ve been waiting quite a while now — but there are signs everywhere that a new jolt of energy is about to hit F street.  Soliciting applications for employees is certainly the smoke to the fire that is FoBoGro’s impending grand-opening (and that smoke smells good.)

Check out their website to find an application to work for the soon-coming grocer/lunch/alcohol spot.  If I was still in college, you’d bet I’d be applying. From what we’ve heard, the work environment they’re trying to cultivate should make for a pretty cool place to work.  Plus there’s food — you’ll have to wait for an interview with them to see if that means free lunch every now and then, but hey, worth a shot, right?
