More Local Eating

We just got back from Arizona. One of the things we did was find a new restaurant. This restaurant makes normal types of food: burgers, pizza, BBQ, breakfast. However, they do everything in a unique way. The restaurant is set on an urban farm. The vegetables, fruit and herbs used at the restaurant are picked right from the farm. They harvest and cook it on the same day. Even the pickles on the burgers are made from scratch.They try to buy locally what they can't grow on the farm. For example, the meat and dairy products come from local farmers and they are fresh. You can really taste the difference and, although I wouldn't call it health food, the onion rings taste better when you know where they come from. Next time, I'm going to try the grilled veggie pizza. The toppings change depending on what's in season in their garden. YUM!
