The Best Restaurants Featuring
Locally Grown Food

Alice Walters began Chez Panisse in 1971, with the idea of creating a dining experience centered on ingredients sourced from local farmers and providers. That idea is still in practice today, as each night Alice’s guests enjoy a new menu created from the highest quality local meat, fish, and poultry.

In 1996, Chef Robert Stehling converted an old barbershop from a century prior into a well-known Charleston institution famous for its low country cooking and Southern hospitality. Hominy Grill boasts classic Southern breakfast, lunch and dinner fare, as well as an ever-changing list of daily specials that reflect the restaurant’s uncompromising dedication to small local farmers, fisherman and millers.

Quality and responsibility are the watchwords at Philadelphia’s White Dog Café. The seasonal menus feature contemporary American dishes created from the best farm-fresh ingredients and humanely raised meats and poultry.

The rich, fresh flavors of Wildwood’s market-driven menu pay homage to the winemakers, farmers and cheese makers of the Pacific Northwest region. Executive Chef Dustin Clark proudly sources premium ingredients from the bountiful farmlands of Oregon and Washington as well as the coastal mountain ranges in order to offer a diverse weekly menu and a selection of the region’s finest wines.
