If you have ever tried to cook a totally local meal,
you can appreciate the effort that these restaurants and
inns are making to support the Localvore Challenge.
Think of what you are going through to source local
items that are in scarce supply and multiply that times
10 or maybe even 100 for a restaurant and you can
imagine what a "challenge" this can be.
Please support them! Let them know you
appreciate what they are doing.
