eat.shop new england: The Indispensable Guide to Inspired, Locally Owned Eating and Shopping Establishments in Providence, Newport, Portland, ... Other Areas of the Region (Eat.shop Guides)

This week we're joined by Jan Faust Dane for a conversation about keeping things local, and the value of community. Jan has been a writer, marketer, food dorager and a director of culinary education. Now she spends all of her time (and more) running Stock Culinary Goods - an independent store dedicated to kitchen culture.

Topics include willing a business into being, a lifetime love of food, the importance of local culture, how to sustain a brick-and-mortar retail business in a massively online world, and having the energy and drive to get it all done.
