The incentive for posting this weekly suggestion for lunch has been a dual task enjoying a table of bounty and keeping the money in the county.

As Wendell Berry states, “Eating is an agricultural act.” That is certainly food for thought as we go forward with our forks and earnings to pay it forward to our independent Metro businesses. Let’s keep the doors open and the kitchens hot for 2012! Good service is the goal of the consumer.
Feed your dreams and have safe, memorable holiday!
