Farmers markets and urban homesteading are more popular than ever, and appreciation for the taste and savor of food grown locally and cooked in one&#8217;s own kitchen is making a come-back. It is in this context that this weekend&#8217;s 2-day Eat Real festival at the Helms Bakery District in Culver City is being held. Combining the concepts of a street-fair, a street-food festival, and a block party, Eat Real features local food vendors, food trucks, local food growers, classes and demonstrations, cookbook swaps, a cooking contest, and even workshops on bee keeping and chicken coops.<\/p>\n<p>Uprising host Sonali Kolhatkar spoke recently with Susan Coss, Director of the Eat Real Festival. <\/p>\n<p>Watch the interview here: <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"477\" height=\"285\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tNKxKD6J7Js\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>For all the information including transportation and shuttle options to the Festival go to: <a href=\" http:\/\/eatrealfest.com\/\">www.eatrealfest.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Martina Steiner recorded this interview. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a href=\"?p=22200\"><img decoding=\"async\" align=right width=100% src=\"\/home\/graphics\/eat_real.JPG\" alt=\"Eat Real\" \/><\/a>Combining the concepts of a street-fair, a street-food festival, and a block party, Eat Real features local food vendors, food trucks, local food growers, classes and demonstrations, cookbook swaps, a cooking contest, and even workshops on bee keeping and chicken coops.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22200","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-featured-videos"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/uprisingradio.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22200","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/uprisingradio.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/uprisingradio.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uprisingradio.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uprisingradio.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22200"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/uprisingradio.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22200\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/uprisingradio.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22200"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uprisingradio.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22200"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uprisingradio.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22200"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
