General Session III: Welcome & Introduction to the Day
• Chavanne Hanson, MPH, RD (Food Choice Architecture and Nutrition Manager, Google Food, and Vice Chair, Menus of Change Business Leadership Council)
“Sustainability and the Plant-Forward Mediterranean Diet: A Snapshot of New Research and a Challenge to the Restaurant Community”
This short session will spotlight the convergence of sustainability insights and nutrition research around the traditional Mediterranean Diet—a plant-forward dietary pattern that holds enormous promise to inspire food system transformation. And you’ll hear about the CIA’s new partnership with the University of Barcelona—the Torribera Mediterranean Center—focused on research and education around these critical issues.
• Greg Drescher (Vice President, Strategic Initiatives and Industry Leadership, CIA)
• Miguel Ángel Martínez González MD, MPH, PhD (Chair, Department of Preventive Medicine, University of Navarra)
“From Whole Grains to Fries and Sweets: Carbohydrates and the Business of Healthy, Sustainable Menus”
Refined grains from white rice to white flour hamburger buns and sandwich bread, plate-filling servings of French fries, an overabundance of added sugar, and sugar-sweetened beverages remain predominant on many menus, while Americans greatly under-consume the tremendously healthy, sustainable, and delicious food categories of whole, minimally processed grains (including ancient and underutilized grains), fruits and vegetables, nuts, and legumes. In this session, we’ll explore strategies to engage our customers in adopting healthier carbohydrate choices, starting from the ground up with what we choose to grow, harvest, and market, to how we menu our good intentions.

• Robert Klein (CEO, Community Grains; Owner, Oliveto)

Charleston, South Carolina | Where to Eat | Best Restaurants | Husk | FIG | Ordinary | Sorghum&Salt
In Charleston we ate at Husk, FIG, The Ordinary, Sorghum and Salt, Brown Dog Deli, and Millers All Day. We visited the alluring southern town of coastal South Carolina and immersed ourselves in its rich history as well as the architecture that is as colorful on the outside as the stories they tell on the inside. But the Southern charm goes beyond its historic roots. This city is known as a food lover’s paradise, firmly planting its name on many best lists, despite its modest size. A tour around the city shows us why Travel + Leisure lists Charleston as the #1 destination in the country.

Millers All Day
Millers All Day is what happens when you unite passionate Southern chefs with an enviable Charleston address. They are fueled by the belief that the best days start or end with a great breakfast and a great cocktail. It is easy to understand why this eatery is the #1 breakfast spot on both Yelp and TripAdvisor.
Brown Dog Deli
Brown Dog Deli is the premier lunch destination in downtown Charleston, serving up fresh dishes in a quirky 80’s-themed setting. They do a wonderful job satisfying omnivores and vegans alike by serving up a variety of mouth-watering sandwiches that range from French Dip to Tempeh Rueben.
Sorghum and Salt
Sorghum and Salt is a celebration of seasonal and regional foods with a focus on innovative plant-based small dishes. The shareable plates provide a great way to get exposed to as much of the magic that chef-owner Tres Jackson has to offer, including his famous meal-ending beet dessert.
The Ordinary
The Ordinary occupies a 1920s bank building and delivers upscale locally sourced seafood from James Beard award winner Mike Lata. One of GQ and Esquire’s top new restaurants in 2013, this place still astonishes customers by serving up “to-die-for” plates such as their succulent oysters and one of the country’s best lobster rolls.
Husk
Simply put, Husk is legendary. It is within this Queen street historic home that James Beard award winner Chef Sean Brock puts his innovative, contemporary spin on traditional Southern dishes. Named one of the most influential restaurants of the last 30 years, Husk applies farm-to-table principles to their lowcountry cuisine, including their famous cast-iron cornbread.
FIG
FIG is the acronym for chef Mike Lata’s effort to prove that “food is good.” And while USA Today has placed Husk as the #2 restaurant in foodie-driven Charleston, it is FIG that has secured the top spot. Lata and FIG blazed the trail of local sourcing and seasonal, creative menus. Getting reservations can be a challenge - as we can testify from our latest trip. But the effort is worthwhile - even if a late night seat at the bar is all you can muster.
