This is not the answer because it's simply not feasible for the majority of restos. I dine out 7 - 8 times a week and at _almost_ exclusively locally owned and have lots of conversations with resto owners. My favorite Thai, Mexican and Indian joints simply can't afford to procure from local farms because their margins are kind of thin. Same dilemma for the owners of the sandwich shops, diners and pubs I support. Many get their bread and desserts from local bakers as well as beer and spirits from local brewers and distilleries because the general public does have an appetite for local and it's great marketing but again, not a concept most owners can exclusively endorse. The upscale places I frequent have local sources but none grow their own produce. Excellent episode nonetheless. These guys are doing a very cool thing.

This is inspiring, while I don't think its possible for every small restaurant to have their own farm it is possible for more and more restaurants to source locally to get back to souring from local growers, butchers, bakers, to stop shopping at the corporate giant because they can guarantee product delivery. I love this chef's passion.

I'm so Excited to see this in Bloomington IL! I grew up about an hour away & during my lifetime, have always looked for Local food served in local restaurants! Over the years became a Foodie. My Dad was a local farmer & we always had the best out of his gardens, I can't wait to eat there!

Global warming is gonna kill the food industry. Be prepared for riots in the streets and food scarcity. Only the elites will have access to food while we eat synthetic shit. This is why I hate liberals who want to kill the second amendment.

This is not the future of dining. Its classic not innovative, and the competition isnt Steak and Shake and McDonalds its Maggianos. Im glad our market has a place where this restaurant can do well, but its not going to take over the market
