Michelle Obama heeded the call of Congresswoman Barbara Lee to make a visit to the East Bay, and on Tuesday the First Lady will be hosting two fundraising breakfast events catered by Alice Waters and co-hosted by the Chez Panisse Foundation/Edible Schoolyard. On the menu will be the first loaf of Edible Schoolyard-sourced Acme bread, which will be turned into garlic toasts, as well as a variety of other locally sourced items with a healthy bent. The first event will be at the Golden State Warriors’ practice facility in downtown Oakland, after which Michell will enjoy a second breakfast at the Claremont Hotel in Berkeley, also catered by Alice. There is also a rumor that Michelle will pop over to S.F. in the afternoon for a lunch, location TBA. [Bay Citizen, NBC]
