Our Best Restaurants issue goes green! Includes Restaurateurs of the Year, our annual Readers Poll, and more.
March 2007
The local food movement is the most pronounced evolutionary change to hit the Twin
Cities’ food culture since the drive-thru. Whereas twenty years ago we boasted
of the availability of orange roughy from the South Pacific and Latin
American–grown fruit, our food world has come full circle. There is increasing
awareness that local food is best in every respect. It’s a trend birthed at
local restaurants and now moving into the broader food community. Our farmers’
markets and natural food co-ops are some of the most vibrant in America, making
it easier for consumers to ride this wave in their homes. Most local fare is
grown or raised using traditional methods, without chemicals or pesticides,
meaning it tastes better and is better for you. There are
environmental benefits as well. Our “Green Guide” is the most complete manual for living the local food
movement from restaurant to market to home. It’s a trend,
unlike orange
roughy, that has staying power.
