When my friend and Miami New Times writer Paula Nino (who also blogs at Mango & Lime) approached me about wanting to interview our forager Ali, the answer was something along the lines of those new Geico commercials (Is the pen mightier than the sword?)
Since we last interviewed her here for Hello My Name Is…, Ali has made quite the transformation, from hobby gardener to our forager and the owner of her own local ingredient-sourcing business — all the while making the kitchen at MGFD in Miami very happy. For the ins and outs of her twice-weekly runs to local farms and farmers markets, read Paula’s post today here.
