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
