There was a time in the U.S. when salad meant a wedge of iceberg lettuce. But in the late 1980s, as European salad mixes like mesclun were capturing the attention of gourmets, visionary farmer Todd Koons had the idea of packaging an organic spring-lettuce mix. Mesclun had never been grown in a large-scale industrial way, and mass cultivation proved to be a challenge. But Koons persevered, and by 1993 his company was farming 10,000 acres a year and shipping bagged spring mix nationwide. His enterprise helped change the way Americans get their greens, earning Koons...
...latest green obsession is mâche, also known as lamb's lettuce or corn salad. Full of antioxidants, vitamin A, calcium and potassium, and with a buttery texture, the sweet, nutty green has been cultivated for centuries in Europe but wasn't widely available commercially in the U.S. When Koons' Epic Roots shipped its first field-grown mâche in 2002, the bags could be found in fewer than 100 stores; now more than 3,000 stores carry them.

Part of the culinary empire of chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, the restaurant is a temple to gorgeous, delicious food. Golden, ruby red and candy-striped beets brighten a simple salad; Texas blue crabs star in a sublime crab cake. For a more casual, festive evening, try Bossa, near the Main Street Square stop, which offers zesty pan-Latin fare and has a hopping bar scene. Afterward, stride down the block and across the street to Sambuca Jazz Cafe on Texas Street, where...
This record, a split release on Word Salad and Moganono is near and dear to our local hearts: Word Salad is the label of Zach I. Baron ’04-05 (a DJ on WHRB’s Record Hospital), and Moganono of Boston scenester/role model/Sinaloa member Pete Zetlan. To top it off, additional insert design was printed by hand at Harvard’s Bow and Arrow Press by fellow DJ Ben F. Tarnoff ’07. The Tiny Hawks LP fits right in with the Word Salad / Moganono catalogues—the former which produced...
