I noticed from my previous post that some of you have never heard of or at least have never been to the restaurant, Sara's Table. So, I decided to inform you about this lovely little restaurant. I also figured that since my lifestyle change involves going to the restaurant, I thought this might give you a better visual as to what I am actually doing, haha!
I felt the article, 'At Sara's Table Chester Creek in Duluth, MN,' really informs us about the restaurant really well. The article was written earlier this year so I can only assume this is the most current information regarding the restaurant. Once you finish reading the article, let me know if you would like to go check it out and I would be more than happy to meet up with you to go to the restaurant; or maybe we should see if our class could go there as an 'end of semester' celebration field-trip! Though, I will admit some items on the menu may get a little pricey.
The article mentions how the goal of the restaurant is to create a 'farm-to-table' restaurant to promote local sustainability. What this means is that the restaurant receives most of the food they serve from local farmers/gardeners. In the summer approximately 80% of the food served is local and in the winter the percentage close 45% of the food is local. The article continues on discussing how the owners of the restaurant receive their menu items.
What I really enjoy about Sara's Table is also the fact that they do more than just serve food! The article mentioned that they are also leading the Duluth community in composting. They have a drop off center located in the restaurant that takes all composting items brought in to the Western Lake Superior Sanitary District. They also promote and support many other organizations in the Duluth community.
Needless to say, Sara's Table is a great restaurant implementing a great cause!
I do know where this place is now looking at the picture in the article. I have still yet to eat here, and great idea we should go as a class field trip.
ReplyDeleteI have heard of this place before but I have never been there. I think it would be a great idea for our class to visit and try some of their food. It is good to know that some restaurants are trying to focus on local foods!
ReplyDeleteSo this is what this place does! This sounds really interesting! What kinds of food do they serve? I see it and pass it all the time in Duluth but I had no idea what it is until now! Maybe our class should visit it and see how environmental friendly they are.
ReplyDeleteThis is really awesome what they are doing! I think that it's really neat that they still try to stay local even during the winter when not much is able to grow! 45% is still pretty big! I will have to try this restaurant out!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome, i never knew that Sarah's Table did all of this?! I thought it was cool that they mentioned that they didn't want to import Asian food here, so they choose the flavor and do their best to match it so that it remains local. Not many restaurants take the time to think about such things. I've never eaten there, but it's definitely something that I think I should experience.
ReplyDeleteI have lived in Duluth my entire life and I have driven past Sara's table many times, but I did not know anything about it. It is so cool that they get most of their food local so they can support the local economy!
ReplyDeleteI probably walk or drive past this place everyday. I never knew that it did so much to help out the community! Hopefully other restaurants follow by their example; they have come up with such good ideas!
