I have always been obsessed with food. In fact, I would be eating breakfast and thinking about what delicious treat lunch had in store in me. But a recent trip to San Francisco changed the way I looked and ate food. San Francisco is on the move with so many Eat Local Campaigns and challenges. Miami is far from it. I intend to make a dent in Miami's movement towards eating locally. We have such great resources and plentiful farming fields...
Although I will frequent many restaurants that do not use all their ingredients from local Miami Farmers, I have made a commitment to avidly seek those restaurants who do. I will try and eat as many foods grown locally as I can. Eating in Miami's local restaurants help our economy and sustain small businesses. I have made the pledge to NOT frequent any chain restaurants. Although fast food is alluring with its quick, cheap and greasy goodness, they act irresponsibly environmentally and socially. I encourage you to take a look at my Happenings page for a bevy of reading pleasure on the subject!
