This NYT article about Farm-to-Table Fare was really interesting! Do you frequent any of the places mentioned?

I'm still amazed that this area supports a number of these restaurants!
Laura, we just don't go out to eat much unless we are on vacation. Maybe dinner 2-3 times a year, lunch more often but not by much.
I was at Legume 2+ years ago and enjoyed it (cannot for the life of me remember what I had!), but the next time I was to meet a friend there it was super-packed so we went to a Thai restaurant next door. To be honest, I loved their food so much that when I am in the area I just have to go to the Thai place!
Once Salt of the Earth clears out a bit, I'm going to meet a friend there for a special night-out.
DH had a meeting at Elements last month and thought the food was incredible (which is saying a lot, he's very particular). The chef there is up for F&W's Best New Chef of the Year award.
Thanks for making me aware of the article, I'm sending it to a few local friends.

Oops!
I meant Jeannette!
I guess that Laura was stuck in my brain since I was also reading her post about the new issue...

I am really enjoying all the new restaurants spring up in my area (Indianapolis). The farm to table cuisine is starting to become popular again, finally. We have a wonderful local market and restaurant called The Goose Market. They offer fresh meat and vegetables that are all grown local. I actually joined their bacon of the month club and get a different kind of smoked bacon every month. It is a refreshing kind of cuisine when it seems like every other kind of restaurant is getting their food shipped in frozen.
