We now need two things, as responsible foodies: 1) a restaurant with the guts to avoid compromise and make no excuses (everything seasonal, organic, local, socially and environmentally responsible to the extent possible at increased cost and chefs with enough talent and guts to change with the seasons) — I dare you, whoever is out there listening… do it and I’ll pay triple for the meal if i can actually trust you; and 2) an un-biased, scaled ranking for restaurants that make any of these claims — I imagine FF would fall in the middle of said responsibility scale… as they seek their chosen level of compromise or “balance.”

Thank you so much for your support, and for affirming that what we’ve been striving for is important. We want everyone to know that we truly are dedicated to maintaining our mission and to upholding our quality standards at every turn, and we want nothing more than to serve great food and mitigate our impact on the environment and the earth while doing so.

We appreciate and understand that sustainable agriculture and concerns of where our food comes from are very important issues and that there’s a lot of false information out there. We’ll keep doing whatever we can to help educate and share important information – like the farms and purveyors that supply our restaurant – on our menus and on our web site.

Thank you, and we hope to see you soon!
