Good Food Awards Finalists Announced; Oakland Denny's Razed By Scantily Clad Witches on Halloween

AWARDS SEASON - The first annual Good Food Awards finalists have been announced. And why should you care? The organization, directed by former Slow Food heavyweight Sarah Weiner, was created to honor socially and environmentally responsible food producers. John Scharffenberger, Bruce Aidells and Sunset food editor Margo True were among the judges of 780 submitted products nationwide; and 80 final award winners will be announced in January.
