Ten youth spent the summer exploring the culture of eating in a city where some of the most iconic foods are the half-smoke: an extra large sausage split down the middle and usually topped with chili, and something called mambo sauce, which looks like ketchup but more gelatinous. The youth also looked at the challenges of some communities' access to healthy, affordable food in their neighborhood. Their search took them from the local carry-out, to their schools vending machines to the soil in their own backyards.
