There is an article in the LA Times about a interesting restaurant concept. Forage in the Silver Lake neighborhood in LA is actually fulfilling their name. They are taking local produce and letting that dictate the menu. And when I say local produce I mean the dude down the street brings in a bag of whatever he has grown.The neighbors who participate can get gift certificates or free food. The chef also shops at the local farmer’s market (we know how I love these) but loves to take what ever foraged food he is provided for on the spot creativity!

I think that is such a cool idea!
