The Finnegans Reverse Food Truck (a food truck which accepts cash and produce donations — in partnership with the Emergency Foodshelf Network — instead of selling food or beer) makes national waves, Bogart’s Doughnut Co. (doughnuts pictured above) considers today its grand opening day (after two days of “soft opening” — whatever that means for a business with a particularly avid Twitter fan base), Lyn-Lake’s The Gray House will be closing July 31 (here’s our review; if you’re looking to stop in, they do have a beer dinner on Sunday), Madison-based NessAlla Kombucha seeks Kickstarter support to upgrade their bottling system and increase supply, and the National Journal lauds the “VIPs drink for free” fundraising strategy employed by Groundswell and Northbound Smokehouse.
