Chow believes that every bite you take is an opportunity for happiness. So why waste it on crap? The brown bag challenge is a collaboration between good and Chow to create the best possible lunch that you can bring to work (or to school, or on a Boeing 737). Buy stuff or make stuff, but make sure it all fits into a lunch-size brown paper bag. Send us a picture of your ideal lunch, along with the recipes for the things you made and a list of things you bought. Extra credit if everything is homemade.


-Jane Goldman

THE ASSIGNMENT
Make a tasty brown bag lunch.

THE REQUIREMENTS
A picture of the lunch and the recipes.

THE DETAILS
Email your submissions to projects[at]good.is.

We're posting submissions here through April 4th, 2008.

In partnership with
