Dish Outtakes: Is It Still Local if It Came from Three Hours Away?

I didn’t decide I was going to go until the last minute, but ultimately, my parents were glad to have the help and I got to write an article about it for The Town Dish, a network of hyper-local food sites, describing the entire process. It went live on Downingtown Dish yesterday!

I took a ton of photos for the article with our new SLR that we bought for our upcoming trip to Iceland. Here are some that I didn’t submit to the Dish.
