Good Morning Boston,
âï¸ [Cloudy]( with a few showers, mostly north. Highs in the 70s.
Our [Future of Food series]( is still underway and you can actually get in on the action. Join the Radio Boston team[today at 3 p.m. for a live show at WBUR's CitySpace](. You'll hear a conversation with Elle Simone Scott of America's Test Kitchen, James Beard Award-winning chef Tony Messina and Ron Shaich, the force behind Panera Bread, Life Alive and Tatte about changes happening in the restaurant scene in Boston. Plus, we'll take a look at how Instagram is changing food culture. So take a later lunch break -- and be sure to find me to say hi if you're there!
