Errata
In last week's issue, two sentences were erroneously added to Evan Mintz's letter to the editor.Last week, the Thresher incorrectly identified Chef Annette Burnam as Salento's head chef ("Class project greens Brochstein"). Burnam is Salento's local jam supplier. Additionally, the survey offered at the event was made to gauge if customers would pay more for other local products to be put in different menu items. The coffee discount mentioned in the article was not a one-time promotion, but instead is still in effect.
The Thresher regrets these errors.
