Our Locally-Sourced Food Ethos
We believe the choices we make about what we eat, where it comes from and how it is prepared have a direct impact on our health, our communities and the planet.
TRUTH AND DELICIOUSNESS FOR ALL.
We source our food with deliberate care from a direct network of farmers nearby. Our chefs sweat the details on every ingredient so you don't have to. Our sourcing guidelines take care of the rest.
Bottom line up front, our new American restaurant didn’t invent this idea. America’s original diners served unpretentious dishes made from scratch with locally-sourced food. That healthy dining model sounds pretty fresh to us these days, so that's how we're slicing it. What that looks like is: we serve real food, that is nutrient dense when it was picked just days (not weeks) ago. If we don't understand how an ingredient is produced, grown or treated, we don't put it on our menu. Our belief system is simple: eat only what you'd feed your family.
Sometimes what you don’t do is just as important as what you do. We only serve our guests the very best that we’d feed our own family. If it ain’t real, it’s not on the list, as we say.
Our “No” list:
No genetically modified organisms (GMOs)
No hydrogenated fats
No artificial coloring
No artificial flavoring
No added artificial sweeteners (e.g. high-fructose corn syrup)
No refined vegetable oils (e.g. canola)
No antibiotics or hormones
We’re going back to the foodture to cook and serve local food that rolls with the seasons. We believe the future of food is real, transparent, and delicious. Join us on our journey to 100% local-sourcing.
