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.
