OK i know its not an article but it takes a look into a very nice restaurant and shows us that you can do a lot while still supporting your local farmers, fishermen, etc. he says its a casual elegant restaurant where he serves upscale local foods and looks to be very good. it goes to show that with a passionate chef you do not need the mass producers for consistency but can localize your product. this effort to be more sustainable and enrich your environment whether or not its going all out and using paper straws or just supporting your local farms and fishermen to put back into your surrounding environment helps. it also shows the limitless possibilities and challenges for the chef to play with and make unique and their own. which in turn will create great food from local areas and a more sustainable food supply.

It's really neat how the restaurant makes its identity out of the food and where it comes from. Not only do the back of the house staff know where the food is coming from and what it is exactly but also the front of the house servers and customers are educated. And thanks for the video haha, nice switch up.
ReplyDeleteI really liked this video; I thought it was nice to see a really compassionate chef caring about what he's serving to his customers. It was a quick, simple video summing up how they are easily making a step at sustainability by buying everything local, I liked that everything they used was local and they directly tied to the restaurants appeal. I also enjoyed that the entire staff from kitchen crew, to front of the house, to the customers were well educated on what they were serving/eating, where it's from, and why they presented it the way they did. I also liked the media change; I was getting tired of just reading articles every week.
