Hello Scott, Try Alma on University in SE MPLS. Alex Roberts, the Chef and owner is son of Don Roberts who is a local grower that is quite well known.
Lucia's is another that focuses on locally sustainable produced food and owner Lucia Watson sits on the State of MN Organic Advisory Task Force. Brenda's in DT MPLS has a good local focus too. French Meadow on Lyndale in S. MPLS also does a good effort too. Right across the border in St. Paul on Raymond is Chet's Taverna that is REALLY doing a bang up job. There are many others but those are my favorites and what comes to mind first. tom taylor Sheridan Neighborhood -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Scott McGerik Sent: Friday, December 12, 2003 11:49 AM To: Mpls Issues List Subject: [Mpls] Q: Local Restaurants Serving Locally-Raised Produce? I enjoy dining at Heartland, a restaurant in St Paul that serves a Midwestern cuisine featuring organically grown or naturally raised products from local farms. Lenny Russo, chef de cuisine, buys supplies directly from the farmers instead of going through large distributors. My question for the list is: Are there restaurants in Minneapolis that are similar to Heartland, that is, they feature locally-raised products? If so, what are they and what can you tell me about them? I would love to dine at a restaurant like Heartland that is closer to home. Scott McGerik http://mcgerik.com/scott/ REMINDERS: 1.
