Farm to Table Posers?

Farm-to-table is enjoying a popular run, but I believe it’s more than a trend. What is farm-to-table exactly? All food starts on a farm and ends up on the table right? Well, yes, but properly applied, the term denotes those restaurants that define themselves by the quality of their ingredients and often have special relationship with farms and artisanal purveyors and as such celebrate local and seasonal food and produce. The farms are part of a larger food community that supports a local food scene—farmers, ranchers, creameries, fishermen and winemakers.
