Local Chew


just a few bites of info…

Did you see our local pals from the Oceanaire Seafood Room mentioned in the New York Times article about the sudden proliferation of $40 entrees? The star of the article is a 1 3/4 ounce lobster dish from The Modern in NYC. It is priced at $42. When you compare the high-lighted Oceanaire dish (the Arctic Char, a whole fish for $38.50) it hardly seems comparable. My favorite quote from the piece … “Forty is the new 30”.

On a completely different bend, the Minnesota Department of Agriculture has created a new directory of organic farms. The list provides information on 208 of the state’s certified organic farms. It was created mainly for food professionals and chefs, but that doesn’t mean that we all shouldn’t get to know the names and products of our organic friends.
