True Confessions

Despite my newfound interest in supporting local food growers, there are many nights when I simply do not want to cook. Here’s some good news: it is possible to eat locally produced items when dining out.

More and more restaurants are incorporating local ingredients into their menus. Not only is it good for their business, but its good for the local economy as it keeps the money in the neighborhood. The next time you are eating out, inquire as to where the foods offered on the menu are sourced. If it matters to us, it will increasingly matter to our local restaurateurs.

Here's a quick list of metro-west eating establishments that are being intentional about choosing local and/or sustainable food sources. If you have more recommendations, do tell!
