Why Sourcing Locally Changes Everything
Ingredients sourced locally and used quickly are simply more vibrant than those that have traveled long distances and spent time in cold storage. Tomatoes picked at peak ripeness taste fundamentally different from those harvested early to survive shipping. Seasonal produce carries flavors that simply aren't available out of season. For chefs committed to sourcing locally, the quality and character of ingredients drives the menu, rather than the other way around. This is why items on our menu often change with the seasons. What's available and excellent in March is different from what's exceptional in October. A rotating menu isn't an inconvenience; it's a feature of a kitchen cooking with the best of what's actually in season.
