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!
