Link here for an article that appeared in Los Angeles Times yesterday about Banquet. Only three more weeks left to see the exhibition before it closes!

We've received a mouth-watering batch of essays on an array of foods and specific memories associated with them: fresh popcorn on Saturday nights, fried chicken on Sundays, picking blueberries in late summer. Through the prism of these childhood favorites we get a portrait of the happy family that the author grew up in. All essays are on view in the corridor.

For this final round the prize goes to Carie Cable and her wonderful description of a family specialty: "Christmas Eve Spaghetti" (read essay click here).
