Interview of Michael Levitron, owner of Persephone

Since I joined BigBad in early June, my new coworkers have introduced me to Persephone for after-work drinks. I thought that you might be interested in reading this interview by the Boston Food & Whine blog of Michael Levitron, the owner of Persephone. The mantra: "local, sustainable food."

Interview with Deanna, Art Director, Health Nut and Simple Sandwich Lover

I recent sat down to talk about lunch with Deanna.

What are you having for lunch today?

I have no idea. I’ll probably pick up something at Metro? Has to be healthy.

How often do you bring your lunch?

I was doing pretty well for a while but I am out of a routine...trying to get back to bringing lunch 3x a week. You?

I’m shooting for 4 x a week brown bagging it. You got a favorite lunch take out or are you a creature of habit and follow the other Metro zombies?

I typically go where I can get in and out quickly. I don’t really care. I went to the Channel one day last week but it took FOREVER to get my order. I also went to Cosi...I’m definitely no creature of habit.

What’s your favorite thing to bring from home?

Well...today I was supposed to bring a PBJ and I totally forgot. I love simple sandwiches...tuna salad is good too. Or...spinach salad with chick peas. What do you bring? You have more meal-like lunches, I think.

I’m not a sandwich person so much. Usually leftovers or salads.

You ready to go get lunch?
