CURRENTLY SERVING:

Are you a Locavore? Do you only buy and cook with locally grown produce? Do you religiously follow the 100-mile radius rule? If so, you must be healthy, um, regular and… trendy! Hot off of its “buzz word” status after being designated Word of the Year by the New Oxford American Dictionary for 2007, locavoraes also get street cred for representing fresh foods and local farmers. (Greensgrow posse holllllller!) But most interestingly, we’ve been noticing the locavores going, if you will pardon the extenstion of the hip-hop glossary, next level with this locavore steez: Not only buying local produce, but eating it out, as well. (OK, maybe that came out wrong. First day as food blogger here. Forgive.) The point: Restaurants within the Philadelphia area are starting to use locally grown products more than ever to please their organic loving crowd; see Supper, James, et al. Head over to farmtophilly.com where you can enter your zip code to find the Philly restaurants closest to you. This locavore thing — it has wheels. Big, eco-friendly Prius wheels.
