Northern Spy Food Co. is a perfect model for cities like New York City that are clamoring for more restaurants with locally sourced options. In fact, I could very easily see Northern Spy Food Co., once they get the minor kinks in service worked out, opening several locations around the city. The proprietors clearly have enough restaurant and hospitality experience that, if they are supported by the community, will respond in kind.
Living back in the mainstream reminds me of the Goliath–size reality of our food system. The majority of Americans today has never been to a farm or have any idea where their food comes from. I am living inside one of Michael Pollan books, the bleak food landscape.
I’m not in Kansas anymore, No longer in the Bay Area where most farms are within 200 miles, where there are farmers’ markets everyday of the week, and where there is a general culture of “Buy Local” and “Eat Healthy”.
