Eating "green" has long-been a way of life for Yogis and Flower-children, but with the newly coined "Localvore" movement, eating sustainable food has become mainstream, with locally sourced menus popping up at even the most posh of restaurants. Everyone, it seems, has jumped on the train and is healthier as a result of it! Personally, we couldn't support it more, and try to eat locally as much as possible. With Boston's great open air markets, local vendors and CSA programs, it's pretty easy to to access fresh, local, and delicious produce, meats and dairy products.
We're especially looking forward to "Local Love", a dinner to support local farmers that is being hosted by one of our favorite Fort Point restaurants, Channel Café. Consider it an "anti-Valentine's Day" if you will... :)
The special V-day dinner menu will consist of a pre fixe menu focusing on locally grown, sustainable sustenance, perfect for those lovebirds looking to avoid the cliché masses with an alternative Saturday Valentine’s dining experience.
For $30, the 4-course menu includes an Organic Vegetable and Local Cheese Pizette and a Narragansett Lager to start, followed by a choice from 3 options for each of the remaining three courses. Highlights include a New England Pork Rillette, served with grilled garlic crostini, roasted apple, red leaf lettuce, and apple cider vinaigrette, Horseradish Crusted Gloucester Cod, with pan roasted wild mushrooms and house-made grain mustard beurre blanc, and a Patron Affogato.
Each menu item has been carefully selected and sourced from local purveyors including Enterprise Farm produce, River-Wild Mushrooms and Gordon’s Fold Cattle to name a few, to ensure an entirely sustainable menu for Boston’s devout localvores.
