According to Publisher's Marketplace, Jason Sheehan, author of the ode to the swearing/drinking/sexing life of professional chefs Cooking Dirty and Seattle Weekly's food critic, has just signed a deal to write a new book on the farm-to-table movement. Which sounds a little bit more peaceful than his last book?
Anyhow, it will look at how the push for local ingredients has affected the entire culinary landscape, "from sidewalk food operations to boutique restaurants to giant corporations like Chipotle and Walmart, dramatizing the gains & losses as the movement goes to scale." The untitled book comes out from Farrar, Straus and Giroux in 2012.
