PSA for Today: Thawing Out the Farms

The farmers that allow us to have beautiful produce on the table when we go out to eat are having a tough time following last month's cold snap, and chefs Suzanne Goin and Evan Kleinman want to help. During February, their restaurants and several others will offer special menus to raise money for the farmers. When you think about this, it's easy to see why the direct farm-to-restaurant relationship is a good thing. So far, Angeli Caffe, Lucques, AOC, The Hungry Cat, Grace, Canele, Border Grill, Beacon, and others have signed up; a full list, which is updated regularly, can be found here.
